Permanent Resident Card + expired Passport = big trouble?

[sparks789]

Hello,

After weeks of calling 50 different phone numbers with no luck, I'll try to ask the question here!

I have a Canadian Permanent Resident Card but I am currently in France and my passport is about to expire.
I am going to make a new one so I can return to Canada.
So my question is: will it be a problem if I return to Canada with my PR Card BUT another passport than the one I used to fill out and activate my PR application? Are they going to refuse me because my passport number has changed?
I don't quite understand how much the card and passport are linked with each other...

Hope you guys can help

It's not an issue. As long as both your passport and PR card are valid - you are fine.
