Replace a Lost Immigration Document — let’s get it replaced.

An expired PR card, a misplaced COPR, or a citizenship certificate gone missing shouldn’t put your status — or your travel — on hold. As your licensed representative, we file the right IRCC request and see it through.

Common questions

Document replacement FAQs

My PR card expired — can I still travel?
An expired PR card doesn’t change your status, but you can’t board a flight to Canada with it. If you’re abroad, you’ll need a PR Travel Document — we can arrange this.
I lost my document overseas. What now?
Depending on the document, we’ll file a PRTD or replacement and prepare the declarations IRCC requires for lost or stolen items.
Are the government fees above final?
They’re the standard IRCC amounts in CAD and can change. We confirm the exact current fee for your case at your consultation; our professional fee is quoted separately.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

The questions we hear most on this topic, answered by our consultants. The full list is in the Help Centre.

What is a PRTD?
A permanent resident travel document, applied for from outside Canada, that lets a PR without a valid card board a flight home. Your residency obligation is assessed as part of it.
Can I use a refugee travel document to visit my home country?
No. It specifically excludes the country you were protected from, and attempting that travel can lead to your protected status being reassessed.
Do I still need visas for other countries?
Often yes. Every country sets its own entry rules, and requirements for holders of these documents can differ from those for passport holders. Check each destination before booking.
