i am going to apply for citizenship in June this year. However my PR Card expires September next year.
now since the processing time may take over a year, i was wondering if I could renew my PR card after i have applied for citizenship or should i do that before i submit my citizenship application form?
i had read somewhere that when you apply for citizenship , you can not renew your PR card, is that true?
how long before expiry date on you PR card can you apply to renew it?
So I can still renew my PR card while my citizenship application is in process? I was just worried that i might not be able to leave canada if my PR expires and my citizenship is still under process.
I actually did it. My citizenship application was in process and my PR card was expiring. I applied to renew it and actually already got my test and oath before I got the letter that my new PR card was ready and I could come pick it up. I phoned the call centre and told them I didn't need it any more because I was already a citizen and they said they knew but the letter to pick up was still sent out by mistake.
