Good Morning, I have my oath cermony in Aug. But my PR card expired in June. I applied for my PR renewal in April and still waiting for the new card.
Questions:
1. Will I have any trouble during the Oath cermony document verification since my PR is expired?
2. Assuming everything oath cermony goes well.. what should I do once I get my renewed PR card? should I resubmit.

Please read the following link:

If you have a permanent resident card, you must also bring it even if it has expired.

I suppose your new replacement pr card won't be sent to you once the system shows up that you became a citizen. Also, if in case pr card is sent to you, please contact cic call centre or 1-888-242-2100 to ask whether it needs to be sent to CIC Sydney or to the local office and send it back accordingly.
