How likely is my PR Card Renewal Application going to have problems? (almost 5 years outside)

I've been a Canadian Permanent Resident since Dec 2016 and but left after 3 weeks.

I entered Canada 10 days before my PR Card expired and has raised no suspicions.

My PR Card Expired on February 2022 so I was out for almost 5 years

Since my latest arrival I have been living in Canada for 630 days. (620 days with an expired PR Card)

I will apply for my PR Card Renewal after reaching 730 days.

  1. How likely is my PR Card Renewal Application going to denied?
  2. Since I'm going to have a "special" case; am I going to still be part of the regular processing time? (93 days as of today) - I'm asking this since I have seen threads on reddit that some had to wait 18 months although not having the same case as mine.
  3. Do/did you know someone who had a similar case and was successful? I have seen posts of people who had a similar situation but has not responded if they succeeded or not.

Thank you all so much and I appreciate your answers.

Would strongly suggest you wait until you have an additional 30 to 60 days. Advantage is lower likelihood of it being held up in a longer examination.

1. If you haven't made a mistake in # of days, all other documentation in order, and no other surprise issues like a criminal conviction - no likelihood it will be denied.
2.See above. May not be 'regular' but shouldn't be overly long if you have obvious, well-documented 730 days + and have basics like having paid taxes.
3. Yes, there have been plenty of such cases reported here.
