I've applied for my PR renewal also now. Coz that too will take 3 months (or God knows how many months). If your PR expires in the next 9 months, I'd suggest applying for PR renewal now.Part of my anxiety comes from the fact that if this takes months longer, I need to start applying for renewal on my PR. Just trying to wait it out as long as I can. I'm 9 months out now from it expiring.
