New rules about renwal of PR card

[drhaleem]

The rules for Canadian citizenship have definitely changed in 2015. Is there any change in the residency requirements for PR card renewal?

No - no changes.

The new bill only affects PR and not PR card. The 4/6 rule is in effect.

The new bill does NOT affect PR. It affects citizenship only.

I need to know,
when renewing the PR card, do they count the two in five years back from the date of application or form the date of landing (becoming a permanent resident) or the date of expiry of the PR card
I mean ..
My landing was on 22-7-2012 and the my PR card was issued 13-9-2012. If by 22-7-2017, I didn't complete the two years inside Canada and I didn't apply for renewal till 9-2017 or even later like 3-2018 till I complete the two years (even if my PR card will be expired that time). Will they renew it anyway since at the date of application I would have completed two years or they will count five years starting from 22-7-2012 my landing date and in this case I would not be eligible for renewal??

When renewing the PR card, they count the two in five years back from the date of the application.

So it is ok if your PR card is expired when you apply.
