Hi All,

We received our CoPR's recently,
Issue date 02/Feb/2023 and the Expiry date is based on our passports
our passports expiry on Jun/2026 and Feb 2027 for me an my wife.
So PR was not issued for 5 years but for the Passport expiry date

Regarding The Residency obligation rule is 730 days in 5 years,

My question is does the same applies to us? should we complete 730 days in our 3 and 4 years of PR expiry to renew it in the future? or would that be reduced given that our expiry date is not 5 years.
Not sure how this works

Please let me know

The Residency Obligation remains the same; 730 days in Canada for each rolling 5 year period. It has nothing to do with the expiry of your passport or PR Card.

You can typically apply to renew the PR Card, 9 months before it expires:
