On August 8, 2022, the Government of Canada reorganized the web pages for the permanent residency program,
the permanent resident card, and related topics to improve information organization and accessibility.
Within the new layout for information migrated from manuals into program delivery instructions format, further updates on content will be available for the permanent resident program delivery
instructions. The permanent resident card (PR card) is the official confirmation of residency in Canada.
To travel to Canada as a permanent resident, all applicants need a valid PR card or permanent resident travel document (PRTD).

On August 8, 2022, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) restarted the processing of expired refugee protection claimant documents (RPCDs),
starting with those that expired on or after January 1, 2020. Affected claimants can now mail in their RPCD request form and photographs to the IRCC office in Winnipeg.
Clients will receive their renewed document by mail or be asked to come into an office after a request has been processed. RPCDs that were due to expire before January 2020 will be renewed at a later date.
All the expired RPCDs, meanwhile, remain in force until further notice.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) published new instructions for foreign workers whose post-graduation work permits (PGWP) expire soon.
Those whose PGWP expires between September 20, 2021, and October 1, 2022, must apply for the new work permit following IRCC’s instructions. Applicants whose PGWP expires between October to December 2022 will have to undergo different procedures, depending on their situation.
Those whose addresses and passports are up-to-date and valid until April 2024 will receive their updated work permits by mid-October 2022.
Applicants whose addresses and passports are not valid until that time will obtain their work permits until mid-November, following several instructions introduced by IRCC.
Applicants who cannot update their addresses or passports will have to apply online to extend their current PDWPs.
