Hi guys,
Myself and my partner will be applying to renew our PR cards soon as they expire in around 6 months and I now see that we can renew them up to 9 months in advance. We have a trip to our home country planned for April next year for weddings so hope to get our new cards before that.
We will have around 880-900 days (depending on when we apply) out of the 730 required when applying to renew, but we did spend almost 2.5 years outside of Canada together travelling the world while I worked online for a Canadian company. We're now back in Canada and we are both working for Canadian companies: I'm still working for the same one as before and my partner is also working in the same company as me.
My questions are as follows:

My questions are as follows:
- Is there a way to re-apply for PR together as a common-law couple?
- Do you think that this much travel will impact our PR renewal application? Should we wait a little longer before applying?
- Will this much travel impact my partner's application for renewal more than me because he was not working at the time for a Canadian company?
- How should I fill in all of the travel details on the PR application form? We were literally in 100s of locations, hostels, hotels, Air Bnbs, on and off the books, campsites, etc. over 2.5 years.
- For addresses in Canada, we are off the books right now renting from a friend. When we returned to Canada the last few times we rented Air Bnbs. For the next few months we will be in lots of different Air Bnbs as we move from west to east. How will we fill all of this information into the application form?
- Will they look for proof of address - Air Bnb, hotel, etc. data?
- Is there anything else we need to know?
