How Does A PR Card Look Like?

[CV User]

What kind of information is on there? If I am in the USA, Do I get that mailed?

Its simple, just do google (images) then you see many ..

I don't think so .. one gets mailed when in US, you need to stay in Canada and get mailed to the local address ..

When you land in Canada as a PR, you give them a Canadian address to mail it to. You get it there in about a month.

The front of it has your picture, signature, name, gender, nationality, birthdate, ID number and expiry date. The back has the PR card number, UPC code, magnetic strip, your height, eye color, country of birth, date you became a PR and where you landed, category which I don't know what is, again a small picture of you and a line of letters and numbers containing some of this information again.

cv user,

yes, they can mail the PR card to your cousins address, as long as its a residential address and not a business address.

 

[CV User]

Oh ok, so I do NOT have to Land in Canada.

 

[rupeshhari]

no, i think you have to land in canada and then give your cousin's home address as your residential address and then you come back to US. wait for your cousin to get the PR card and mail it to you. Only then can you re-enter Canada.

Am i correct?

 

[jtob]

you don't need the PR card if you are reentering canada from us by car.
