I would say yes its best to renew. It wont affect your citizenship appliation, you are just renewing your card!
Citizenship applications take an average of 12 months according to cic.
Good luck

Hi Everyone, The current turnaround for PR renewal is also taking a lot longer than expected. In such a case if PR renewal is applied, what documentation will help to travel outside Canada and Back.

Permanent residents (PRs) must have a valid PR card or permanent resident travel document (PRTD) to return to Canada by plane, train, bus or boat. Without one, you may not be able to board.
