Lost recent PR card but still have the old PR card

[john1288]

Hey everyone,

I am just wondering if you could help me with this issue. I recently lost my PR card because I was organizing my stuff in preparation for my Oath of Citizenship next week. However, I realized that I still have my expired PR card from 2011 with my old picture (I recently gained weight btw). Now the question is, when I go to the CIC for my oath taking next week.... do I have to present them a valid PR card or is it okay for me to present them the one that's been expired for four years (2011 PR card)? Please help me with this as I am severely worried .

PR card is required to enter Canada.Permanent resident is a permanent resident, even if the card is expired. So I think there should not be any problem. Give them the expired PR card.

Hello,

Yes. I just read someone said the same thing regarding this issue. Either way, I have to call the CIC tomorrow morning just to confirm if I can still use this old PR card for my oath taking next week.

Thanks for the help anyway.

Best,

John
