Re: Renewal of PR card outside Canada
Thanks for the reply, my confusion is mostly directed at this specific wording as above. I looked into the proof requirements on the link you provided:
What are the requirements?
To apply for a PRTD you need to:
prove who you are;
confirm your permanent resident status; and
That is the part im confused, how do you prove/show your PR status other than your card?

Re: Renewal of PR card outside Canada
I was sponsored by my Canadian citizen partner for my PR card which I received in Feb 2012. We lived there until June 2014 and after that moved outside of Canada. My card is up for renewal in February 2017. Am I still eligible to apply as I believe I have met the 730 day residency rule and on top of this have been living with my Canadian sponsor while outside of Canada. We don't have a permanent address in Canada though.
We are also in the same boat. I'm Canadian Citizen and so are our 3 kids, hubby is PR Status. His card expired last June 2016, but we will be making our move by Dec 2017. I know he has to apply for PRTD to return back to Canada (which will hopefully be April/Jun), but his British Passport expires in June 2017. My question is when he renews his passport his COPR is stapled in, should I remove this or send it all together when I apply for his passport renewal?
When he travels back to Canada the kids and I will not be accompanying him, does that make a difference?? As he would like to apply to renew his PR card, come back to UK and then all of us move together by end of this year.
Thanks again for your help.

Re: Renewal of PR card outside Canada
Hi There,
Just digging this up again (prior posts are useful for others as well I think).
Looks like we are delaying out move back to Canada until next March 2018. My soon to be wife's PR card expires July 2017 and we have a wedding to go to in August :S. When you apply for a PRTD does it have to be expired first?
Also when you get a PRTD i've heard you can actually do this in person in London? (this may be BS)
Do you need one x PRTD per trip you take to Canada? So if we travel to Nova Scotia this summer then Vancouver in the fall/winter will we need 2x PRTD's for her?
All very confusing when trolling through their website. I am not even going to attempt to see how difficult it would be if we change her name once we are married.....
Thanks
Lewis

Re: Renewal of PR card outside Canada
Are you allowed to apply for a PRTD if yours isn't expired yet but will be in say 2 weeks? My wife has a trip to Canada in August and her PR card doesn't expire until July 5 so I want to ensure we give the london visa centre enough time!

Yes providing you notify them when the card expires.
