Whether the PR card is valid or not is irrelevant. He must be in compliance with the Residency Obligation to sponsor.

As I already clearly stated, he must meet the RO to qualify as a sponsor.

Is there any guidelines on ircc website specifically expired p r card .I check a lot but didn't find .If u have a link plz send
This isn't specifically called out for parents. However if you apply to sponsor your parents without meeting RO, your parents' application will be refused and you can expect IRCC will move to revoke your PR status. This is a very well known rule for all family sponsorships (not just parent).

Again, nothing to do with the PR card validity. Sponsoring is a priviledge and those who fail to meet the ridiculously easy RO lose that priviledge.

In layman’s terms why would the Government allow someone to sponsor someone , when they themselves have not complied with the amount of days required to be in the country to maintain eligibility?

As far as I know, people are JUST getting invitation to sponsor parents TODAY! Since it's been more than a few days since Feb 2019, your friend must have MET his RO by now. So he's fine to sponsor. He needs to live in Canada to sponsor his parents. (Thus I am assuming that he has been living in Canada since he submitted his interest to sponsor back in Feb).

And again, he does NOT qualify as a sponsor if he doesn't meet the RO. It is one of the most basic sponsorship requirements.
