Practical order
- 1
Record current country, permanent-resident proof, missing/expired card facts, commercial travel plan and whether renunciation is being considered separately.
- 2
Record Canadian presence, absences, travel, accompanying Canadian/PR family or qualifying employment facts and every supporting passport, tax, work, home or family record.
- 3
Use the current IRCC application channel for the country and prepare identity, PR status, travel, residence and any applicant-authored humanitarian facts named by the checklist.
- 4
Complete the current PRTD forms, pay IRCC directly, submit through the responsible channel and answer passport or additional-document requests.
- 5
If issued, read the PRTD validity and entries, use it only within its conditions and begin the separate PR-card process after returning to Canada.
