How long is the new PR card valid for, 5 years or 1 year?

Hi everyone,

I am unclear about new PR card's validity period . Say, I came to Canada on April, 2015, got my PR card soon. Then I left for family reasons. Last month my family and I came to Canada and settled down here. Unfortunately I lost my PR card and some other import documents.

It seems that I need to ask for new PR card. My lost PR card will expire on April,2020, and I am wondering when will my new PR card expire.

I would appreciate it very much if someone can help me with it. MANY THANKS

A new card is valid for 5 years. Since you don’t seem to meet RO, and unless you need to travel, don’t renew the card until you meet the RO. There is no requirement to hold a valid PR card unless you are travelling back to Canada.
