7.6 Holders of one-year PRCs referred to Immigration Secondary
examination
Persons with a limited validity (one-year) PRC are under enforcement and must be referred
to secondary inspection by the examining officer at the Primary Inspection Line. One-year
PRCs may be visually identified by the last digit in the first line of the MRZ (“<1” for holders
of a one-year PRC, as opposed to “<5” for regular PRCs).
7.7 Secondary examinations of holders of temporary travel documents
At present, IRCC information systems do not automatically support full information sharing
throughout the client continuum. An overseas residency determination is made independent
of a PRC application, as well as any concurrent application for citizenship made by the same
client.
Visa officers must use the “Watch For” capacity in CAIPS/FOSS and special coding on the
counterfoil to alert ports of entry, the CPC-PRC and Citizenship of a negative residency
determination made abroad. This will ensure that the CPC-PRC has the information required
to refer a case to an inland IRCC office, based on FOSS entries that indicate non-compliance
with A28 despite the issuance of a permanent resident travel document.
POE officers must take care in interpreting the FOSS PRD coding, as the case disposition is
listed as “passed” in CAIPS whenever a counterfoil is issued. Despite a negative residency
determination, clients are entitled to a PRTD counterfoil coded “RX-1” if they have spent at
least one day in Canada in the past year. A PRTD coded “RA-1” is issued following an order
by the IAD under A175(2) to allow the holder to be physically present at an appeal hearing,
where an appeal is made under A63(4).
Other instructions on the effect on the POE of overseas decisions regarding travel
documents issued under A31(3) may be found in ENF 4, section 11.5. Temporary travel
documents issued in the absence of a PRC reflect the coding in accordance with the
provisions of A31(3)(a), (b) and (c) and A175(2), summarized here as follows:
Counterfoil Code Explanation
R-1 Positive residency decision
RC-1 Positive residency decision based on H&C considerations
RX-1
Negative residency decision, but PRTD counterfoil issued as client has
been to Canada during the past year
RA-1
Negative residency decision, but PRTD counterfoil issued to allow client
to attend appeal hearing
Cases coded “RX-1” and “RA-1” are referred to secondary examination in order to be
documented for follow-up and updates to FOSS, as required. Particular attention must be
given to the contents of NCBs or remarks by the visa office in support of the hearings
process or in accordance with directions given by the Minister’s delegate.
The POE officer makes a determination of permanent resident status in accordance with the
facts of the case as presented and in light of the visa office decision. There is an obligation
for procedural fairness, including due consideration of any new information or humanitarian
or compassionate circumstances. If a visa office renders a negative decision overseas and
no appeal is made within 60 days, the overseas decision becomes final.
The FOSS file must be updated to reflect the outcome of the secondary examination,
including any remarks pertinent to the person’s permanent resident status, the existence of
a PRC application already in process, or a concurrent citizenship application, as appropriate.

Exception: One-year validity
Exceptions to issuing a five-year PRC are described in R54(2), in which case a one-year PRC
is issued. R54(2) states:
54.(2) A permanent resident card is valid for one year from the date of issue if, at
the time of issue, the permanent resident
(a) is subject to the process set out in paragraph 46(1)(b) of the Act;
(b) is the subject of a report prepared under subsection 44(1) of the Act;
(c) is subject to a removal order made by the Minister under subsection 44(2) of the
Act and the period for filing an appeal from the decision has not expired or, if an
appeal is filed, there has been no final determination of the appeal; or
(d) is the subject of a report referred to the Immigration Division under subsection
44(2) of the Act and the period for filing an appeal from the decision of the
Immigration Division has not expired or, if an appeal is filed, there has been no final
determination of the appeal.
In practice, this means that all PRCs are issued for a validity of five years except where an
applicant is described in R54(2)(a) to (d) above. Where a PRC is valid for one year, pending
finalization of any report, admissibility hearing, Minister's delegate review or appeal, the
client has the option of applying for a new PRC whenever they are no longer in the
enforcement stream, e.g., an appeal has been allowed. It should be noted, however, that
once a PRC is issued, irrespective of its validity, and the client takes possession, the
transaction is considered completed. PRCs are not automatically cancelled, revoked or re-
issued based on subsequent enforcement events.
