My wife and I moved to US in May 2023. I had become cdn citizen in July 2023. Her PR card expiring and we visited Canada and applied for her PR card while in Canada using the exception of "accompanying spouse" instead of regular residency proof (she didn't meet RO).

We clearly mentioned in the application the date I became citizen and what days count toward her RO and what days don't. We got an email from Etobicoke IRCC to come with documents and be prepared to answer questions and officer will determine whether we will get 1 year or 5 year PR card.

Due to our personal situation, we can't go now. So if she applies for PRTD, is this an obvious case for approval? the only tricky part is spouse becoming citizen later, though there is no clear rule saying that the "PR accompanying a citizen" abroad must be citizen on the day they departed, I'm still little skeptical.
