Hi guys, I recently became a Canadian citizen. During the oath ceremony, I was asked to cut my PR card.

My bank accounts were opened with my PR card and study permits years ago. Now I don't have the PR card anymore to show to the banks if they ask for it. Should I call my banks to update my information or just leave it as is? Has anyone had any problem with their bank accounts after becoming citizens?

Thanks.

1. No, you don't need to update the bank.
