Hello, I applied to renew my daughters, who are underage, PR and sent all the documentation on April 19th and it was received at the processing center on April 21st. Since then I have not received any updates at all. The processing time has been extended continuously from originally being 90 days. One of them is turning 18 at the end of this month and thus her PR card expires very soon. We are meant to travel to Canada in the next week so it will be valid then, but will there be a problem in the near future when it expires, because we have been waiting for the renewal of the PR cards for a while now. Is it fine that it will be expired while she is in the country but we have the paper work showing that it was sent to the processing center and we are just waiting for the cards now?

For the most part while in Canada your daughters will not need the PR card.

Did you apply for the renewal of the card from outside Canada?

No we didn't. We sent documentation from inside Canada.
I wonder - speculation without details here - whether any combination of your residency obligation and leaving while the PR card is in process has delayed their consideration.

But at any rate: return before the current cards have expired and then deal with it. As noted, unless some specific issue, your daughters hsould be fine with the expired cards in Canada, they are still legal residents, etc.

They are just way behind. There is another thread with PR renewal applications with over 110 days with no news whatsoever.
