Renewal of PR

[Manuv28]

Hi

I need your advice....I landed in Montreal on 2 May 2010...and Left for my country on 26 March 2011. I came back to Canada but this time to Toronto on 13 April 2014. My PR has expired on June 2015. I have not yet sent my application for renewal...

I know the most basic requirement for renewal is ..you need to be in Canada for at least 730 days. But they do not count the 1st month you landed and the last month your PR expires...
If I count my number of days from 02 May 2010 to June 2015 excluding the first n last month as per the rule....I have 715 days in canada.
Can someone please advice me...as at today....if I send my PR card for renewal....Will I be in trouble because I did not send it earlier....
N I would like to know, how do they count the number of days...will it be the day I send for renewal let say I send my application this year on May 1, 2016.

my second issue is my wife.... same as above... but the only thing is last year she travelled for 15 days outside Canada. So as at June 2015(date of PR expiry) she had 700 days.

I will be grateful to know when can she apply for renewal??

Thank you again

Manuv

You can apply to renew your PR card once you have 730 physical residency days in the last five years before you submit your renewal application. You will have to calculate to determine when this is for both you and your wife. I'm not sure why you think they don't count the last month your PR card expires - this isn't true.

If you returned to Canada on April 13th 2014 and haven't left Canada - then you should be able to apply to renew your PR card on April 14th 2016. However I would wait a few additional days an apply with a buffer.

If you apply now you can expect your renewal application to be refused.
