注意以下要求:
Assessing your eligibility
To be eligible for a PR Card, you must:
be a permanent resident of Canada;
be physically present in Canada;
not be under an effective removal order;
not be a Canadian citizen or a registered Indian under the Indian Act; and
not be convicted of an offense related to the misuse of a PR card.
Permanent Residents outside of Canada
申请更新枫叶卡时,人必须在加拿大。
If you are currently outside Canada and do not have a valid PR Card to return to Canada, you will need to obtain a travel document from a Canadian visa office. An application is available on our Web site at
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/travel.asp.
Once you have returned to Canada, you should apply for a PR Card.
这段好像是指,如果人在国外,但枫叶卡过期,可以申请一个travel document,可以回加拿大。
但想必,其前提是要符合最近五年在加拿大二年的基本要求,才能申请这个文件回到加拿大吧。
