Hi,
My PR card expired before I could get my SIN. Would that be a problem when applying to renew the card? Is it possible to renew my PR card without providing the SIN on the form?

Why don't you get a SIN first? You can use your CoPR for that, and it only takes 30 min to get a SIN..

Hi,
Thank you for your answer! I was 17 when we came here so my father did all the paperwork. I don't know what a CoPR is, I don't think he gave it to me.
 
Ok. No, you don't have to fill in the SIN field. I'm assuming you're in Canada right now.

Here's what you need -> https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...ices/new-immigrants/pr-card/how-to-apply.html

Include with your application:

  • your PR card:
    • If you are applying to renew your card, keep your current card and include a photocopy of it with your application.
    • If you are applying to replace a card because it is damaged or the information on it is wrong, send the card with your application.
  • a clear copy of:
    • your valid passport or travel document, or
    • the passport or travel document you held at the time you became a permanent resident
  • two photos that meet our photo specifications
  • any other identity documents listed in the Document Checklist (see the application package),
  • a copy of the receipt for the processing fee, and
  • a solemn declaration if your PR card was lost, stolen, destroyed or you didn’t receive it within 180 days of immigrating to Canada.
