SOURCE-BACKED ANSWER

How do I complete Permanent resident travel document?

For a permanent resident outside Canada without a valid PR card, document the travel need and residence history, submit the PRTD through the current channel and verify its limited use. Start with the reviewed official source, follow the current actions and submit through your own government account.

Practical order

1. 1

   Record current country, permanent-resident proof, missing/expired card facts, commercial travel plan and whether renunciation is being considered separately.

2. 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. 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. 4

   Complete the current PRTD forms, pay IRCC directly, submit through the responsible channel and answer passport or additional-document requests.

5. 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.
