Re: PR Renewal/Citizenship
If you have maintained your residency requirements i.e. the 3 years in 5 years then your PR doesn't ever expire. (Assuming you don't do something illegal and get deported of course.) Your PR card expires after 5 years and then requires replacement. That's an administrative procedure and nothing to do with PR itself.
