Hi,

Have a PR card expiring in Nov. I read that its a good idea to apply 6 months before it expires but not more than 9 months before. That means I can apply as of Feb, however if I send the application out am I still allowed to travel? I will be out of the country from Feb to August (6 months) which means I will be back before my current car expires but if I wait my renewal will not be completed before my old card expires (with current processing times).

What should I do?

1. Sure you can still travel as you will have your present PR card, which is valid.
