Hello fprince,
I was wondering if you got some time to look into how to renew PR card? I think last time we talked you said you also have to do something like this. Please let me know.
Regards,

Hey Buddy,
Hope you are doing good. Yes, i did look into it.
Actually it is very simple if the PR renewal has no name change etc..all you do is fill their forms on CIC website and pay 50$ as fee for renewal.
You do not have to send your current PR card if you have validity....they will send you a new PR card to your nearest CIC office and you need to go in person, pick it up and surrender the old card.
The process takes 6 months is what i see on the website, so it is gonna happen slow.
In my case, she needs a new Indian PP with my surname on it..once this bit is done, that is when i can request a new PR card with the new surname and i still have to pay 50$ for it.
Doing this i will make sure the Indian PP - PR card have the married surname on it...its gonna take me much longer as she will apply for her new IND PP in September and depends on when she gets one, we will
apply for a new PR card with the PP name....
