Regain Entry to Canada with Legal Support
If you are a Canadian permanent resident outside of Canada and your PR card has expired or is not available, you cannot board a commercial flight, train, or bus to return. In such situations, you must apply for a Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) to re-enter Canada and resume your life here.
At Sunder Law, we help clients navigate the time-sensitive and high-stakes process of applying for a PRTD. Our team ensures your application clearly demonstrates your eligibility and meets the expectations of visa officers—especially in cases where your residency obligation is in question.
