Planning your application
A permanent resident outside Canada without a valid PR card may need to review travel document options before returning. Your location, intended transport and residence history all matter to that review.
How Value Visa can help
We examine the documents you hold, your travel timeline and any previous residency or travel document decisions. Bring the full history of absences and available supporting records; a travel document application should not be approached as a simple replacement of a missing card without that context.
Your review is specific to your circumstances. We explain the proposed work and confirm fees in writing before beginning. Government fees are separate.
Documents to discuss
Bring the records you already have to the consultation. This starting list does not replace the personalized checklist for your application.
- Passport and PR status documents
- Current location and return travel plans
- Travel and residence history
- Any previous PRTD or residency decisions
For the initial inquiry, describe your situation and deadlines. Ask us how to share sensitive documents before emailing identity or financial records.
Current official guidance
Requirements, fees and processing information can change. Use the official instructions alongside advice about your own circumstances.

Is a PRTD the same as renewing a PR card?
No. These are distinct applications serving different circumstances. We review your location and document needs to identify the appropriate process.
What will a consultation cover?
We discuss your goal, immigration history and the documents available, identify questions that need further review and explain the scope of assistance. Fees are confirmed in writing before work begins; government fees are separate.
Can Value Visa guarantee approval or a processing date?
No. IRCC makes immigration decisions, and processing times can change. We help prepare a complete, consistent application and explain the next steps without promising an outcome.
