You can only apply for a PRTD from outside Canada. If you try to return to Canada without a PR card or PRTD, you may not be able to take your flight, train, bus or boat to Canada. If you leave Canada without a valid PR card, you must apply for a PRTD to re-enter Canada.
Your permanent resident (PR) card can be used to show that you have permanent resident status in Canada. When you travel outside Canada, you should make sure you have a valid PR card before you leave Canada.
