The government fee for renewing or replacing your Permanent Resident Card is CAD$50.
If you use a representative, you will also have to pay their fees.
What is the PR Card Fee For?
The government fee is used to pay for the printing of the card and to pay for the assessment of your application: verifying your identity, whether or not you met the residency obligation, and so forth.
Given the amount of work that currently goes into processing PR Card applications, it’s likely that the CAD$50 doesn’t come close to covering the cost of processing an application.
