You should also take confirmation of permanent resident paper with you as well which in other words is called landing document

"Landing paper" meant "Confirmation of permanent resident" paper that you got after you landed. I brought both to be on the safe side but the officer only checked my PR card, ID (driver license in my case), and passport stamps.
Good luck!
Thank you very much for answering.
I have one more question, please.
Since I got my PR, I traveled to Japan (2 weeks) and England (2 weeks). I have stamps from Japan and England showing that I arrived to the countries. However I do NOT see any stamp on my passport from Canada showing that I re-entered back to Canada.
Will that be a problem at the interview?
Thank you again,
Nopes as canada does not stamp passport. So no issues as IRCC would have already got report from CBSA about your travel history and entry exit dates. But make sure you note down dates you travelled and came back in case interviewer asks you about them
Today our daughter received a request to attend test / interview in Halifax on 8 January, she took her test/ interview on 18 October and passed , it is myself and husband waiting for interview as we could not attend on October 18 as we were out of the country , we asked for a re schedule.
Our daughter called cic today and spoke to an agent who wasn’t very helpful , he told her we should attend on the8 January then he backtracked and said we should call cic ,our daughter called again and spoke with another agent as she was not happy with the first,this agent was more helpful and said she would contact Halifax to see what was going on .
I called cic myself and all I got was what was on my acas that I could do for myself by going to my application status online .
Our daughter has now emailed Halifax to sort this out ,we are awaiting a reply .

similar boat man!!!!!!!
My home country passport will expire in 6 months, and I need to go to US often which requires passport valid at least 6 months, so I have to renew my home country passport and do everything again.
I called countless times, they just said: oh it is in process, oh you need to wait for one year and call us back if there is no test yet.
For your question, if you are not leaving Canada, you dont need to renew your PR card. BUT, if I were you, I would still do so, just in case GOD knows how long this damn "in process" take, maybe a year? maybe 6 months?
Canada uses automated system where CBSA will have a record of you entering back into the country just by scanning your passport/PR card at the airport. As long as you have both entry and exit stamps from Japan and England you are good to go.
I received my invitation to the citizenship ceremony today via email.
It indicates my case was approved November 21st.
Ceremony is on January 24th in Vancouver at 8:00 AM.
Prior to this, ECAS had already indicated that my ceremony would be taking place at this date and time.

Citizenship interview scheduled for 8 January ,for my husband only ,found this out by going on ecas, no e mail sent ,my status hasn’t changed as they sent notification to our daughter instead of me ,daughter sat her test in October and passed 20/20,so I can only assume I will be scheduled as well and will attend , waiting for Halifax office to reply to daughter about mix up , hope this will lead to oath ceremony soon ,please update ,thanks .
It took a month to get the email, but the date showed in ECAS about two days after the test.

A quick question.
My PR card is expiring in January 2019. No update on the citizenship application.
I dont have any travel plans until summer. Is it mandatory to renew the PR card or i can wait a few more months that i receive my citizenship.
Thanks and season greetings!
