Hello Folks,

please advise, if I need to put the renewal application for PR while citizenship application is in process?
My PR is expiring next April , according to renewal process we need to apply prior to 8 months. So I’m wondering if I still need to apply!
Citizenship application sent in June 2020 and test is completed in June 2021.
Well, you don't "need" to renew 8 months prior. The rule states that you "can" renew when the PR card expires in 9 months or less (not 8) - This means that you have a right to renew the PR card when it expires in 9 months or less but not an obligation. Just wanted to clear that up.

IMO, you will likely receive your Citizenship by that time. The current processing times for PR card is somewhere around 70 days I think. So, give it a couple of months to see if you are scheduled for oath, otherwise, go ahead and apply for renewal would be my opinion.
