Travel Documents

Where a permanent resident has remained outside Canada and their permanent resident card has expired, they must apply for a travel document to allow them to re-enter Canada. Again, the permanent resident will be required to describe their travel history. If the applicant has not been able to meet the residence requirement, they can apply to keep their permanent residence and return to Canada on Humanitarian and Compassionate grounds. Once inside Canada the permanent resident can apply to renew their P. R. card.
