Hi Sheik

I found this information in the PR card application/renewal/replacement Guide:

1. You must be physically present in Canada to renew your card
2. You must return the expired card with your application
3. It will not be a problem that you have been out of Canada as long as you have proof that you have been with your Canadian citizen spouse.

Hope that helps.
