Questions

Does this submit my application?
No. Only you can submit in the PR Portal. You get every answer in portal order and your files ready to upload.
Where are my answers and files?
In this browser only. Clearing your browser data deletes them. Only your email and a random id go to the payment service.
Can I use it for a travel document (PRTD)?
Not yet. It covers renewal, replacement and first cards applied for online in the PR Portal.
What if I'm short of 730 days?
Talk to a licensed immigration consultant or lawyer before you apply. prcard.ca does not give advice.
Is this legal advice?
No. prcard.ca is independent software that quotes IRCC's own wording and links to it.
