To find your PR card issue date, simply look at the front of your Permanent Resident card. The issue date is typically located at the bottom, right below your date of birth (DOB). It is formatted in a year-month-day (YYYY-MM-DD) order, making it easy to identify. If your card is not available or you’re unable to find the date, you may contact Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) directly for assistance or check any official correspondence from them, as it might also contain this information.
