CIC has on its site, the average PR renewal is 170 days. One of my friend was in same situation. Shockingly CIC suggested him to apply for visa in his country to return to Canada but they does not have a system to issue a temporary PR.

Consider sending a registered letter with PR copy to CIC stating that since renewal of PR taking so long, what they can suggest. Attach a copy of their reply and apply for visa from your country. *** I found its weird but then, its CIC.

Regular processing is taking that long however, urgent processing takes a much shorter period of time for people with no residency issues or doubts. I applied for mine last year (while I was in the process of applying for citizenship), and it took 2 weeks for renewal, between them receiving the application and me receiving the new card.

Instructions for urgent requests are available in the official website.
