Permanent Resident Cards
The permanent resident (PR) card is a wallet-sized, plastic status card. It is the proof of status document required by permanent residents seeking to re-enter Canada on a commercial carrier (airplane, boat, train or bus). It also provides cardholders with secure, convenient proof of their permanent resident status.
The Permanent Resident card is safe, secure and confidential:
- Only non-secure information is printed on the card
- Personal information is encoded and accessible only to authorized officials
- It includes state-of-the-art security features and is highly resistant to tampering and illegal duplication
- It provides transportation officials with a more effective means of identifying people with permanent resident status in Canada
