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.
