You are eligible to apply for a permanent resident card as a permanent resident of Canada. A permanent resident card (PR Card) is used as a certificate of identity while traveling. A permanent resident card is used as proof of your permanent residency status when returning to Canada. A PR card is valid for a maximum period of 5 years.
If your PR card has expired, then you must apply for a new one before leaving Canada on your trip. If your PR card is about to expire, you will need to apply to the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to renew your PR card.
