Hi all,

My *landing* date is July 26, 2017, and the officer scribbled this date next to the "Became P.R. on" field on my Confirmation on Permanent Residence (COPR) paper.

My PR card then states expiry date of September 20, 2022.

I understand the 735-day rule over the preceeding five (5) years for renewal.

My questions are as follows:
1. If I moved to Canada "735 plus 1" days prior to my PR card expiry date of September 20, 2022, and solidly stayed within the country since then - without going out of the country - would I be theoretically able to apply for renewal of PR card?
2. How significant is the date of "Became P.R. on" on COPR? Does the proceeding five (5) year right after that date mean anything at all?

Thanks in advance,
 
Please ignore the expiration date of your PR card.

For determination of residency compliance, for the first five years, only the landing date matters, which, in your case, was July 26, 2017.

Once again, IGNORE the expiration date of your PR card.
 
You need to accumulate 730 days by July 25 2022 so in the initial 5 years from landing

From July 26 2022 the 5 years becomes a rolling 5 years so each time you enter the country you must have spent 2 years in the country in the 5 years preceeding each rentry.

As per the previous post PR card expiry is irrelevant for the RO.
