This service is ideal for:

What We Offer
We assist with a full range of status-related services:
PR Card Renewal or Replacement
Your PR card is required for travel and proof of permanent residency. We assist with renewal applications, lost/stolen card replacements, and urgent processing requests. We also help you explain any shortfall in your residency days.
Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD)
If you're a permanent resident outside Canada without a valid PR card, you'll need a PRTD to return. We help you gather the right documentation to prove residency compliance and submit your application to a Canadian visa office abroad.
Canadian Citizenship Applications
Ready to take the final step? We evaluate your eligibility, calculate your physical presence days, and prepare your full citizenship application—including help with travel history, tax documents, language proof, and PR compliance.
