Canada introduces permanent resident card
Canadian permanent residents returning to Canada will have to present a Permanent Resident Card or a Facilitation Travel Document issued by the Canadian High Commission as a proof of their Canadian residence from December 31.The Record of Landing (IMM 1000) will no longer be accepted as a proof of residence from that date, says a press release of the Canadian High Commission. If a permanent resident tries to present that document as proof of status, they will not be allowed boarding and instead be referred to the Canadian High Commission where they should apply for a facilitation travel document. Permanent residents, wishing to travel after December 31 and who are not in possession of a Permanent Resident Card, are requested to contact the Canadian High Commission from Sunday to Wednesday in between 8.00am to 12.00 noon for a Facilitation Travel Document. The Permanent Resident Card can only be obtained in Canada, the release added.
