加拿大永久居民旅行证件 Permanent Resident Travel Document(PRTD)
任何人都必须持有有效的旅行证件才能入境加拿大,永久居民凭其有效枫叶卡出入加拿大边境。在没有有效永久居民枫叶卡时,加拿大永久居民需要申请永久居民旅行证件以便合法入境。
Any person wishing to enter Canada’s borders must possess a valid travel document. Canadian permanent residents are able to use their permanent resident card (PR card) in order to enter the country.
However, if a permanent resident does not have a valid PR card and needs to enter Canada, they may be eligible to apply for a permanent resident travel document (PRTD).
申请条件 Application Requirements
一般而言,永居旅行证件持有人通常可以单次入境,允许永久居民在申请枫叶卡或更新枫叶卡前入境加拿大。由于申请人只能在加拿大境内递交枫叶卡续签申请,因此永久居民旅行证件通常是在枫叶卡过期后入境加拿大的必要身份证明。符合下列条件即可申请永久居民旅行证件:
- 获批成为加拿大永久居民;
- 没有可以证明其永居身份的有效枫叶卡;
- 身处加拿大境外;并且,
- 将乘坐飞机、轮船、火车或公共汽车入境加拿大。
Generally, PRTDs are valid for a single entry to Canada, allowing a permanent resident to enter the country before obtaining a new PR card. A permanent resident may only apply for a PR card from inside of Canada, so the PRTD is often necessary to facilitate entry to Canada. A person may apply for a permanent resident travel document if they meet the following criteria:
- They are a permanent resident of Canada;
- They do not have a valid PR card showing PR status;
- They are outside Canada, and;
- They will return to Canada by airplane, boat, train, or bus.
注意事项 Please Note
在申请人满足永久居民旅行证件申请条件并递交申请后,签证官将对其申请进行审核,以确保申请材料完整且申请人已履行其作为永久居民的居住义务。如果申请人未能履行其居住义务,其永居身份存在被注销的风险。
身处加拿大境外,且来自非免签入境国家的准新移民,在获取永久居民确认函的同时会收到加拿大政府签发的永久居民旅行证件。凭该旅行证件前往加拿大入境口岸,登录并获取枫叶卡。身处加拿大境内的准新移民,则无需申请永久居民旅行证件,该证件只会签发给需要凭其入境的永久居民。
If a person meets the criteria for a PRTD, they can submit an application. Please note that upon submission of the application, a visa officer will review it to ensure it is complete and that the applicant has met their residency obligations. If the applicant has failed to meet their residency obligations, then their status as a permanent resident may fall into jeopardy.
Please note that immigrants from countries requiring a visa to enter Canada who have received their confirmation of permanent residence (COPR) should be issued a travel visa with their COPR. This travel visa allows them to travel to a Canadian Port of Entry (POE) to enter Canada where they can begin the process of obtaining their PR card. It is not necessary for a newly confirmed permanent resident to obtain a PRTD, as the above-mentioned travel visa will be issued to those immigrants who require it.
