“ Important information: Upon issuance of a new PR card, your existing (or old) PR card will be invalid after 60 days following the date of issuance of the new card. You can check our current processing times to calculate the approximate time your new PR card will be issued. Keep this in mind prior to making any travel arrangements after applying for a new PR card since you will not be able to return to Canada with the invalid PR card if the new one has been issued and is not in hand. In this scenario, you will need to apply for a permanent resident travel document (PRTD) to return to Canada.”
