Permanent Residence
How to Apply for PR Card
Applying for permanent residence (PR) in Canada is only possible if your claim is approved by the IRB-RAD or IRB-RPD.
You can apply online using the Permanent Residence Portal or send forms by mail or courier. Ask a legal representative to look at your PR application before sending it to IRCC. If you do not have a legal representative, contact a local settlement agency for help finding one.

You must update IRCC with the names of a spouse or any dependent family members you have gained since you arrived in Canada.
Your child’s age on the date you made your refugee claim is “locked in.” This means if they turn 23 years old years old before you get PR status, it does not matter. Talk to a legal representative if you are not sure about the date.
You may not know where some family members are, but you can list them in your application. They will have one year from the day you get PR to apply for it themselves. Only someone who IRCC considers a family member can do this, not a de facto family member. Talk to a lawyer if you have family members who are de facto family members.
Translate documents
English & French are official Languages of Canada
Any document (including any stamps and seals) that is not in English or French, you must send in:
- The English or French translation. See the IRCC website to follow their requirements to translate documents.
- If you cannot get a certified translator for your identification documents, you can use a non-certified translator. You need:
- an affidavit from the person who did the translation, and
- a certified copy of the original document. It must be certified in Canada by a notary public, a commissioner of oaths, or a commissioner for taking affidavits.
Affidavit
An affidavit for a translation is a document that states that the translation is an accurate version of the original. The translator swears this in front of a professional who can take oaths in the country where they live. The person must speak English or French well in order to take the oath.
Who can prepare an affidavit?
In Canada:
- a notary public
- a commissioner of oaths
- a commissioner for taking affidavits
Outside Canada:
- a notary public or someone with an equal position
You or any of your family members cannot do the affidavit. Even a member of your family who is a lawyer, notary public, or certified translator is not allowed to prepare your affidavit. (This includes a parent, guardian, sibling, spouse, common-law partner, conjugal partner, grandparent, child, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew and first cousin.)
Pay Fee
You must pay a fee when you apply for PR for yourself and for any family members. You pay all fees online. To pay your fees, you need:
