My card expires in September. I need to travel outside Canada from June and staying outside Canada for 6 months.
I want to have a new card so I can return with it rather than getting a PRTD.
I was told that even if the IRCC receive my application early they will delay sending the new card to me till the one I have is about to expire. Which means they will send it some time in August. Is that true? or will they process the application in the usual manner and send the card early. It is possible that they send me the new card in May or June while the one I have will expire in September.
