How long is the re-entry permit effective?

The re-entry permit is effective for 5 years (or 6 years in the case of special permanent resident) at longest since the permit becomes effective. For example, if foreign national’s period of stay expires within 5 years after the re-entry permit becomes effective, the foreign national may obtain re-entry permit until his/her period of stay expires.
