Check timing and location
Apply from within Canada and follow the current IRCC renewal instructions. An expired PR card does not automatically end permanent resident status.
Review your record
Reconcile travel dates with your records, collect proof of residence and review the official checklist. If you may not meet the residency obligation, obtain advice before relying on a calculator estimate.
