Hello,

Thank you for your question.

Leaving Canada without your PR card is not problematic, but you will need a Travel Document from your local visa office to re-enter Canada.

If you are outside of Canada and you do not have your PR card or your card has expired, you must apply for a Travel document (permanent resident abroad) (IMM 5529) at the Canadian Embassy in Manila, Philippines before returning to Canada. The travel document is only valid for one entry. Once you are in Canada, you should apply for a PR card.

If you return to Canada aboard a private vehicle, the PR card is not mandatory. You can use your immigration paper:

Record of Landing (IMM 1000); or
Confirmation of Permanent Residence (IMM 5292).

An officer will ask you questions to see if you meet all of the requirements before allowing you to come back to Canada.

You can find more information on the PR card here.

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.
