Can someone still apply for citizenship if they have expired permanent residency card?

If my permanent resident card has expired but I'm still in Canada and meet the number of days required for citizenship can I apply for citizenship? Or does one need to renew the card first?

Yes! Absolutely! Your permanent residency status never expires. Your PR card is merely a travel document... Apply away if you meet all the requirements.
Also renew your PR card when you get a chance

100%. I just did my oath ceremony with an expired PR card, they asked why it was expired and I just explained I had no plans to travel until citizenship was done and they were fine with it
