PR card validity - renewal
- Thread starter EUK

You will have to do it in advance ... According to the last update, a renewal takes 110 days, so about 4 months of processing time.

I have already read in the guides on the IRCC site that if you send in your renewal request too early (The limit before expiration is 6 months), they will send your request back to you!
... And finally, yes, the validity period is 5 years. I confirm.

So sorry I was not clear in my ask. So normally the first PR card is good for 5 years, right. So when you renew it, do you still get 5 years or is it less?
