It’s unfortunate to hear that Canada is experiencing a large backlog of applications for permanent resident cards. This delay is causing a lot of trouble for many new immigrants who are now stuck in Canada without the necessary documentation. Without a permanent resident card, returning to Canada can be quite difficult for a permanent resident, and we understand the stress and frustration that this situation can cause.
Without a permanent resident card, returning to Canada can be difficult for a permanent resident to re-enter the country. One way of returning to Canada without the permanent resident card is for the new immigrant to enter the country by land at a port of entry along the Canada-U.S. border.
The backlog has been blamed on submitted photographs not meeting the requirements of the current, non-governmental processing center. The submitted photos are often not the right dimensions or brightness.
Since the processing center for permanent resident cards is not a government entity, Canadian immigration officials might lack specific information on the day-to-day processing or particular applications.
Immigrants can qualify for urgent permanent resident card processing if they are expected to travel within the next three months due to:
- a job opportunity
- their serious illness
- the death of a family member
- work related to their current job
- the serious illness of a family member
If you find yourself outside of Canada without a valid permanent resident card, you can apply for a permanent resident travel document for a fee of $50. However, we understand that this can be a hassle and may not be a feasible option for everyone.
To be eligible for a permanent resident card, candidates must be permanent residents and apply.
- Candidates should only apply for a permanent resident card if
- their card has expired or will expire in less than nine months
- their card is lost, stolen, or destroyed
- they didn’t receive a card within 180 days of immigrating
Candidates must update their cards to:
- legally change their name
- change their citizenship
- change their gender designation
- correct their date of birth
If a candidate’s permanent resident card expires, they can renew the card. Even with an expired card, a candidate does not lose his or her permanent resident status
