PR Card renewal (Residency obligation query)

[ramansingh05]

Hi @All,
My wife stayed more than 3 yrs outside of Canada and she will be completing 730 days by the end of Oct 2023. I have below questions:
1: I am planning to apply online via PR Portal. Can I apply now or I can only apply after Oct 16th 2023(when she'll be completing 730 days).
2: secondly, Do I just need to submit passport copy(front and back) and expired PR copy or I need to send them stamps pages under the passport as well.
3: any other documents needs to be submitted apart from passport copy, PR card copy and fee receipt.
4: I can see processing times is 66 days however anyone can tell from their experience how long its taking to get the renewed PR Cards via mail?

Please help.
thanks in advance

1. Much better to wait for the full 730 physical presence in Canada
2. I remember that only biopage is needed, but check the requirements when you apply
3. not that I remember
4. I did it in the summer, when the processing time was 71 days. It took nearly exactly that long - but I did it online, rather than by mail.

You need to submit every single page of your passport...

And I am shocked you guys were seeing <80 days for processing times. I applied online early July and it was 92days. And now it's at 88 days... (I had to resubmit my application due to my photograph in September, and I'm guessing my processing time has reset since I've not heard back since.)
