It seems that IRCC is mandating that an online applicant must provide a photo of their destroyed card (even if still valid). This is different from the instructions for applying via a paper application.
Am I the only one that thinks this is crazy?!
Could it be yet another error with the instructions for online applicants?

If you’re applying to renew your PR card, provide a photo of your destroyed PR card.
What if the current card is still valid? Why would a PR need to do this and potentially prevent them from leaving and returning to Canada (via a commercial carrier)...unless IRCC wants those that do this to have to apply for and PAY FOR a PRTD to return, when their `destroyed' PR Card would have worked just fine?!
If you lost your PR card, include a copy of a police report or incident number, if you have one.
If you’re applying to replace your damaged card, please destroy your card immediately and attach a photo as proof with your supporting documents.
Thoughts?
