Has anyone successfully renewed his or her PR card WITH a lot of stamps in his passport?

It seems from many posts that having a lot of passport stamps virtually guarantees that you will have to complete an RQ, and a lot of delay will result.

Even though you provided a guide to you trips outside Canada, linking each trip to the relevant passport stamps, and even though this convinced CIC to issue your renewed PR card, all this means nothing to the local CIC officer when you go to pick up your card.

The local officer sees a lot of passport stamps and immediately gives you an RQ to fill out, and you can count on months of delay until a final decision. (What a wasteful duplication!!)

So, how have people who successfully renewed their PR cards – despite having lots of passport stamps – managed to succeed? We need practical tips, please!!

there are no tips . if the officer is in a bad luck you will get the RQ. Take all the proof with you but i am not sure he will look at them but you can try.
