This article has information for permanent residents who are returning to Canada from a trip abroad.
The only official documents that permanent residents of Canada can use to travel back to Canada on a commercial carrier (by air, land or sea) are the Permanent Resident (PR) Card or a Travel Document (Permanent Resident Abroad) issued by a Canadian visa office overseas.
If you are a permanent resident, when you travel outside of Canada, you must carry your PR Card to show to a transportation company and Canadian customs officials that you are entitled to re-enter Canada as a permanent resident. If you do not have a PR Card, you might need to apply for a Travel Document.
The Confirmation of Permanent Residence (IMM 5292) is not enough to get you back into Canada.
It is important that you check the expiry date of your PR Card before you travel. If you need to renew it, you should apply at least 2 months before you travel.
If you hold a passport from a visitor visa exempt country (that is, you do not need a visitor visa to enter Canada), most transportation companies will allow you to travel with just this passport. However, you must present proof of Canadian Permanent Residence at the Canadian port of entry, when you are reviewed by a Canadian immigration official.
This situation can change at any time.
You must contact YOUR transportation company to find out what its policy is.
Can I use my Record of Landing or my Confirmation of Permanent Residence to enter Canada in my own car?
Yes. According to the CIC website, you need a PR Card to re-enter Canada by commercial carrier (airplane, boat, train or bus) only. You do not need a PR Card to enter Canada in a private vehicle, such as your own car.
According to CIC and CBSA, you can use a Record of Landing (IMM 1000) or a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (IMM 5292) to show you are a permanent resident of Canada. If you are using a Record of Landing or a Confirmation of Permanent Residence, the officer may ask you to show your passport, too.
You can also use your PR Card. Both CIC and the CBSA recommend that you use your PR Card, if possible.
You should contact US immigration services about which documents you need to enter the US.
