Hi there

I already applied for citizenship, received RQ and submitted it last year. I received RQ since I had a US visa. Now, I am applying for PR Renewal that is expiring in next month. I have few questions.

I understand that we have to send photocopies of all pages of passport. I just wonder if I have to send colour copies or black and white will be enough?.
Since I got a RQ on my citizenship application, do I get a RQ also for my PR renewal? I have stayed in Canada for more than 4 years in the last 5 years.
Can I attach the CBSA report which I obtained for Citizenship RQ submission to prove my physical stay? Will it be helpful or become a hassle since it is not listed in the required documents?.

Thanks for your response.
 
Black and white copies are sufficient.

PR renewal has a much lower standard than citizenship (730 days in the previous 5 years, versus 1095 days in the previous 4 years) so it seems unlikely that your RQ would trigger much on the PR card side - unless there is something glaringly obvious. But if you've been here 1460 days in the past 5 years you aren't anywhere near a danger zone.

You can certainly submit additional materials to prove your residence. I seriously doubt that you'll have an issue. Most likely, your new PR card will just show up in the mail.
 
Very useful information.
Thanks for sharing. :D
 
Thanks Computergreek. I appreciate your response. Bye.
