My wife is in the uk and will come back in july 2017...

she carries a valid pr card ...

we applied for a renewal and received a new one just recently...

can she still use the old pr card she is carrying with validity till october or should i send the new one via courier before she comes back?

Will she have no problem coming back using the pr card she is carrying which will expire oct 2017?.

i applied 9 months early before the expiration and am surprised that we will received the new pr card so quick.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your wife's situation and question with us.

According to the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship (IRCC) Call Centre, she can use the one she has in her possession as long as it has not yet expired.

In terms of what happens to the older PR card once she returns to Canada and has both in her possession, there should have been some instructions sent along with the new PR card regarding what should be done with the older PR card.

If you have any questions or concerns, you should contact the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship (IRCC) Call Centre directly.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
