Replace a lost or damaged PR card

Your location affects the next step.

If you are in Canada

Use IRCC’s replacement process for a lost, stolen or damaged card. Follow the reporting and document requirements in the current guide.

If you are outside Canada

A PRTD may be needed to board a commercial carrier to Canada without a valid PR card. A replacement request alone is not a travel document.
