永久居民卡更新 Permanent Resident Card Renewal
加拿大政府敦促永久居民实时随身携带有效的枫叶卡。持卡人不仅可以以此证明其加拿大永久居民身份，也可持卡入境加拿大。如果枫叶卡即将在9个月内到期或已经过期，永久居民可以提交申请新的永久居民卡。
It is encouraged for permanent residents of Canada to carry a valid PR card at all times. Not only does the PR card allow a permanent resident to show proof of status, but it also allows a person to freely travel in and out of the country.
If a PR card is within 9 months of expiration, or it has already expired, a permanent resident can submit an application for a new PR card.
申请人必须向加拿大移民部案件处理中心之一递交一份完整的纸质申请表，以便申请更新永久居民卡。提交后，如果申请材料完整且申请人满足所有申请条件，即可获批新的枫叶卡。值得注意的是，加拿大永久居民在枫叶卡过期后，其永久居民身份不会自动失效。永居身份只能通过官方程序进行注销。由于以下原因，永久居民的永居身份可能失效：
- 移民官在续卡申请期间或永久居民旅行证上诉期间，由于申请人不满足条件而确定申请人不再具有永居身份；
- 永久居民自愿放弃永久居留权；
- 针对永久居民发出驱逐令并生效；或，
- 申请人入籍成为加拿大公民。
即使永久居民未能履行其居住义务，在官方对其身份做出正式撤销决定前，其永久居民身份依然有效。
In order to renew a permanent resident card, an applicant must submit a complete application in hard copy to one of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s (IRCC) Case Processing Centres for PR cards. Upon submission, provided that an application is complete and that the permanent resident meets all requirements, a new PR card will be issued.
It should be noted that permanent resident status does not expire when a person’s PR card expires. A person can only lose their PR status if they go through an official process. You can lose your PR status in the following situations:
- An officer determines you are no longer a permanent resident after an inquiry (including PR card renewal) or permanent resident travel document (PRTD) appeal;
- You voluntarily renounce your permanent resident status;
- A removal order is made against you and comes into effect, or;
- You become a Canadian citizen.
Even if a person fails to meet the permanent resident residency obligation, their PR status remains in effect until an official decision is made on their status.
