Permanent resident cards are only valid for five years after they are issued. However, when traveling internationally, the cards are needed, and they may also be sought as evidence of permanent resident status by employers or other government organizations. Therefore, permanent residents are placed in the costly and time-consuming situation of submitting a new application for a Permanent Resident Card and paying a new fee every five years. As for Canadian Citizens who wish to apply for immigration, there is no need for updating their immigration documentation.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
