PR card renewal obligations

[mj4ever]

Hello,

I sponsored my mother to be a permanent resident back in 2018. The process was ongoing and she had a residency on march 4th 2021 while she was here. Because of covid delays, she received her PR card on february 7th 2022 with an expiry date of feb 7th 2027.

1- when could she apply to renew her card. Is it 9 months earlier than march 4th 2026 (5 years after the date of residency confirmation) or feb 7th 2027 (PR card expiry date)
2- is it possible apply for the PR card renewal earlier than the 9 months before expiry or she could have her request refused even if she fulfills the 730 days presence?
3- does she need to be in canada to apply for the renewal even when applying online.
4- if she needs to be in canada when applying for PR card renewal, could she travel during processing and use her current PR card to enter Canada or she has to wait until she receives her new card to travel again?
5- my mother is 70 years old and when she comes to canada she always stays with me and i fulfill all her needs so she doesn't have any of the required documents to prove her presence like a statement of work or rental contract or memberships. What should she do to prove that she was in canada for at least 730 days.

Thank you in advance for your help.

4) Yes, she needs to be in Canada when apply for PR card renewal (paper or online). She can travel during the processing.
5) How about Notice of Assessment and Health records?

Thank you for your answer. For the health records i don't know what does that mean. She only went to the doctor twice in 5 years. We live in quebec and i don't know how to get a proof of these visits.

For the NOA, does she need to submit the ones of all the 5 years or 3 are sufficient ?

Thank you

1. 9 months before PR card expiry.
2. Not possible. Application will be returned
3. Must be in Canada
4. Can travel during processing and re-enter with her old card.
5. She must have filed taxes. Does she have a cell number? Did she use any health care services?

Hi and thank you for your answer.

Yes she filed taxes on 2021,20211 and 2024. Would the NOA of these years be sufficient. She also has a cell number but it's only paid when she's in canada and not since 2021. Do i have to provide invoices of all the 5 years or only the months she's here would be enough. She also used health care services but only twice and I don't know how to get proof of that. My point is that there some things that could be provided but not to cover all the 730 days.

Thanks

She needs to provide two proofs. Give them two (NOA 2024 and one of those invoices dated within the preceding 5 years she signed the renewal application). Couldn't she ask the doctor's office to get the medical records?
