A permanent resident card costs $50, whether you are getting your first one by application, renewing it, or replacing one that was lost, stolen, or destroyed. One case is free: where the card carries an error the department made rather than one you caused, the replacement costs nothing. The fee is per card, so a family renewing together pays for each one.
(1)A fee of $50 is payable for processing an application made under paragraph 53(1)(b) for a permanent resident card.
(2)A fee of $50 is payable for processing an application for the renewal of a permanent resident card or for the replacement of a lost, stolen or destroyed permanent resident card.
(3)No fee is payable for the replacement of a permanent resident card containing an error that is not attributable to the permanent resident.
