My visa expired, but my PR card is valid until Jan 2024, I can travel back and forth to Canada?

- Start date
you don't need a visa any more if you are a PR of Canada.As title, or do I still need to renew my visa? I am 99% sure that I can travel with my PR card. Just want to make sure. Thanks for any help
If he is a permanent resident, he does not need visa to Canada anymore (regardless of his current citizenship).
You are a PR. All you need is a valid passport and a PR card or PRTD (if you don't have a PR card) to go back to Canada.As title, or do I still need to renew my visa? I am 99% sure that I can travel with my PR card. Just want to make sure. Thanks for any help
I think because the opening poster said "I can travel with my pr card" …..bs65 is saying yes but of course you also need your valid passport and any visas (transit) that your passport requires for other countries along the way to Canada.
Exactly what I was saying if anybody read my post 'any other countries' meaning any other countries apart from Canada given a PR card means nothing to any country outside of Canada so if the OP needed a visa for any country apart from Canada then will still need a visa even if a PR.
of course except for the countries that will honor Canadian PR or TRV and give you a trv based on that. (example indian passport holders with CDN PR do not require a visa to mexico)
