You are eligible for a Permanent Resident Card only if you have entered Canada through the immigration process and have been granted permanent resident status. If you become a Canadian citizen, you do not need a Permanent Resident Card.

Permanent Residence Card

Permanent Resident Cards with a five (5) year validity are issued to those who successfully obtained permanent residence in Canada. PR cards can be renewed every five years if the permanent resident respects the residency requirement.
