PR CARD RENEWAL

[eikei]

DEAR ALL,

I AM CURRENTLY A PR CARD HOLDER SINCE JUNE 2010 SAME WITH MY PARENTS AND MY BROTHER AND IT WILL EXPIRE ON JUNE 2015. MY DAD WILL BE GOING BACK TO OUR COUNTRY OF BIRTH THIS FRIDAY THE NOV. 21ST AND I BELIEVE YOU CAN ONLY RENEW PR CARD 6 MOS. PRIOR IT'S EXPIRATION. SO WE'RE ALL PLANNING TO RENEW IT NEXT JANUARY, MY QUESTION IS CAN MY DAD JUST FILL OUT THE FORMS,SIGN AND DATE BEFORE HIS FLIGHT AND WE CAN JUST SEND IT ON JANUARY? WILL THERE BE ANY PROBLEM WITH IT? PLEASE HELP.

THANK YOU.

2014 Nov. 21 father goes back to country of birth
2015 Jan. intends to apply for renewal of PR card.
2015 June PR card will be expired

No matter what you are trying to do to help your father renew his PR card.

You must remember he is only eligible to renew PR card when he is physically in Canada.

Yup, there is a problem with your plan. He must be physically present in Canada to apply for a PR card.


"To be eligible for a PR Card, you must:
-be a permanent resident of Canada
-be physically present in Canada"
