What should I do if my PR card has been lost, stolen or damaged?
It depends on if you’re in or outside Canada.
If you’re in Canada
Apply to have your PR card replaced.
If you’re outside Canada
If you’re coming back to Canada in a commercial vehicle (airplane, bus, boat or train), you need a permanent resident travel document to return to Canada.
If you’re coming back to Canada in a private vehicle, you can use other documents to return to Canada.
