***Query***

My PR card has expired, and I will meet the RO in a few months. While my PR card was valid, I made over 30 trips between my home country, Canada, and a Middle Eastern country (where I used to work).
Do I need to get translations of the entry and exit stamps on my passport? I know it's not mentioned as a requirement on the renewal application, but I’m curious if anyone has been in a similar situation and how you handled it.
Don't add anything more to your plate.

Hello all!
I have a question regarding my wife's PR renewal and Proof of address. Might seem a little weird or a non-issue but please bear with me:

To provide some context - her PR expired in June 2024, left Canada, applied for PRTD and returned with that. Now, she wants to apply for a PR renewal.
Right now, the utility bills have both our names so Proof of address is not an issue. However, we are renewing our mortgage and this time, I will be the sole applicant. Her confusion is:
1. Will her name show up in future utility bills because the name on the mortgage is changing? If her PR renewal application is processed later and the officer wants to verify the address, how will they see that she is in fact at this address if the future utility bills don't show her name?
2. Is this something we can request Elexicon Energy (Ontario) to add to the name on the bill?
3. What other Address Proof can we provide (we only have a temp photo id provided online. Card is yet to come in mail)

Thanks!

Does it even ask for proof of address? I thought it asked for evidence of residency in Canada.

1. I doubt the utility bills get updated automatically, but ask the utilities. Also doubt IRCC cares or will check down the road.
2. Yes. Whether it's necessary, dunno.

3. If you're trying to show her presence in Canada, tax return, driver's license - see the other suggested docs.

Received email today
Due to the Canada Post Strike, IRCC has experienced disruptions to regular permanent resident card distribution by
mail. We are temporarily offering clients the opportunity to pick up their permanent resident card in person at a
designated IRCC office. If you do not wish to pick up your card in person, we will resume the practice of delivering
the cards through mail early in 2025.
Your permanent resident card will be available for pick up on the following date between office hours of 8:30am –
3:00pm. Please present this letter upon arrival along with a valid photo identity card issued by a provincial, municipal
or federal government department such as a driver’s license, health card, student identity card, etc

I am applying for PR card renewal of myself and my children. Can I submit all the applications in my name or should I make seperate accounts for my children and submit the application.
Should all three of us require three different email id's or one email id will suffice. Thanks
