Citizenship application in process, PR card will expired, Please help!

[Leon]

Thanks Leon for the detailed reply!

Well, I'm currently in Canada and hence technically I can apply for the renewal of my PR card, going by my country of residence. However, CIC says: "Do not apply for a renewal of your current PR card if it is still valid for more than one (1) year, unless it is due to a legal name change. Otherwise, your application will be returned." (cic.gc.ca / english / information / applications / guides / 5445ETOC.asp), I'm not eligible yet to apply for the renewal. Hence, I won't be eligible until Oct 2013 to apply for a renewal. Please comment if I'm interpreting the CIC statement incorrectly.

Right, you can not apply now but you can apply before they expire if you want to.
