The Canadian department for Citizenship and Immigration has announced two changes to its Permanent Residency Card application process. The card is used to confirm a person’s status in Canada and is used by Permanent Residents to board transport and to re-enter the country after trips overseas.
The first of the changes mean that applicants applying for renewal of PR cards no longer have to submit their old cards while the application is being processed. This change frees up Permanent Residents to be able to continue to travel whilst their application is in process.
The second change states that applicants applying for a new or replacement PR card no longer have to have their application signed by a guarantor. This change will simplify the process “without compromising security as CIC can confirm their residence and identity with other documents.”
