PR Expiry Date- Renewal Query

[Nishmaha]

Hi All,

We received our CoPR's recently,
Issue date 02/Feb/2023 and the Expiry date is based on our passports
our passports expiry on Jun/2026 and Feb 2027 for me an my wife.
So PR was not issued for 5 years but for the Passport expiry date

Regarding The Residency obligation rule is 730 days in 5 years,

My question is does the same applies to us? should we complete 730 days in our 3 and 4 years of PR expiry to renew it in the future? or would that be reduced given that our expiry date is not 5 years.
Not sure how this works

Please let me know

The COPR has nothing to do with how long PR has been issued for. The COPR is your landing document. It indicates how long you have to complete landing procedures in Canada and officially become PRs.

Umm, Because I saw Expiry date on eCoPR, maybe thats why i was confused
So when I receive PR card it will have 5 years expiry date irrespective of my passport expiry date?

Yes, your PR card will have a 5 year expiry date. The date on the COPR has nothing to do with the date on the PR card and the expiry date on your PR card has nothing to do with your passport expiry. The dates on most people's COPRs are far shorter than yours. Note that the PR residencly obligation starts on the date you are considered to have landed and become a PR. Don't go by the expiry date on the PR card. Go by your landing date.
