Key Benefits of Optical Cards
• Permanent - non-erasable media provides excellent data security against fraud and alterations
• High data capacity - 4.1Mbytes at low cost allows a wide range of applications
• Updateable - Card is writable, allowing updating without the need to always re-issue new cards
Additional Benefits
• Durable - Card structure is all polycarbonate, with excellent physical properties for long life
• Construction - Data is contained in the center core of the card, protecting it from surface damage and counterfeiting
• Multi-Tech - Cards can be manufactured with multiple technologies (i.e., barcode, magnetic strip, chip, OCR-B, serial #)

Overview
The Permanent Resident Card (also known as the Maple Leaf Card or the PR Card) is a new, wallet-sized, plastic card.
Security features of the new PR Card will simplify the screening process of Permanent Residents when boarding a commercial carrier going to Canada. The card also increases Canada's border security and improves the integrity of Canada's immigration process.
Beginning on June 28, 2002, PR Cards will be mailed to new Permanent Residents of Canada as part of the landing process. People who are already in Canada as Permanent Residents can apply for the new PR Card beginning October 15, 2002.
Card Security
The card will give holders reliable documentation of their permanent residence status. The high-tech security features will make the card extremely resistant to tampering or duplication. The requirement for Permanent Residents to produce this card when boarding a commercial carrier going to Canada will simplify the job of transportation officials in screening people for proper documentation.
