Did anyone from late Jan/early Feb timeline for a paper application get an AOR for PR Card Renewal?

Hi all! Would it be okay to ask a couple questions here before I send in my pr renewal app? Let me know if this is the wrong spot, but my questions are short and to the point so it didn't seem like enough to start a whole thread over. Questions are below assuming it's okay and I don't need to move it.

- If I have been in Canada the whole past 5 years, do I need to provide proof of residency? It sounds like you only need to provide proof of residency if you had gaps in that time period.

- Do I need to include the pr card itself if I'm renewing? I read that if you're renewing to just send a photocopy. The "replacing" is for lost and damaged cards, right (and for that I would need to send the actual card)?

Thanks so much, everyone!

1. You don't need t provide proof of residency. You only need to fill the dates when you travelled outside Canada for work or vacation after you became PR. They will calculate the dates and as long as you have been in Canada for 730 days out of 5 years, you are eligible for renewal.

2. You do not need to include the original card with your application. Seems like you are doing paper application. You only need to include photocopy. The verbiage on their site is misleading.

Thanks so much for clearing that up, pHrankee! I appreciate your help, that's just what I needed to know.

Hi, anyone who had applied in Jan 2023 for PR card renewal, paper based application. I have sent the documents on Jan 16th and it had delivered on Jan 18th. No AOR yet and the current processing times shows as 68days.
