This what happened with me by the way. I was going to renew my PR card earlier, but when I received the test, I thought I would get my passport during the time I would have needed to renew my PR. It was a big mistake. 3 months since I finished my test, and I will probably need another 7 months to get my oath based on their progress. I would suggest you to go ahead and renew your PR card if you think you might travel any time soon. Even if you don't have plans, I would still suggest to renew it. It cost $50 and mailing fees.My PR card expired as well. I was planning on renewing until I got email asking us to take test so I figured they started to process our application.
Please note you can leave Canada check CIC website for more info.
How can I leave Canada with no PR? Applying for PRTD outside Canada would make things difficult, especially with what is going on with covid-19 around the world. It takes time to be issued. So far, I am not eligible for urgent processing, because they require you to have an urgent reason to leave with a proof.
