Reissue PR Card W/O Meeting Residency Obligation

Hi,
Some background information:
I am a Canadian PR studying in the U.S.
Since Jan 2013, I have only stayed in Canada for less than one year because of school.
My PR card will expire in 2021, but I will be eligible for renewal at that time (as I will stay in Canada from 2019 onwards, after finishing my education in the U.S.)
Last year I requested an amendment to my landing paper because there is an error on it made by IRCC. Recently I got a letter saying that the request was approved.
The letter also mentioned that I could make an application to get my PR card reissued in order to fix the error on the card as well.
My questions are:
- If I apply to get my card reissued (I need to submit my original card to IRCC along with the application), is there a chance that I will lose my card because I didn't satisfy the residency obligation?
- Also, if my card actually gets reissued, will I be able to receive it while I'm abroad, since it seems like it's possible that IRCC will ask the applicant to receive the card in person?
Thanks! I hope my questions are clear and look forward to your response! |
