Hello Kathrin,

Thanks for sharing your situation with us and for including the details of your circumstances.

According to a CIC representative, it could cause processing delays if you are unable to provide your old passport (showing entry & exits ). This is because they will have to verify whether you have met the residency requirements in another way.

The representative advised that you include strong supporting documentation when you submit your PR Card renewal application, to prove your physical presence in Canada during this time period.

This could be pay stubs, bank statements, utility bills, credit card bills (they are interested in where you made purchases, not what you bought), cell phone bills, etc.

We suggest that it is best to get more information on your specific situation by contacting the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) Call Centre directly.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
