Hi,
My pr card will expire on September 11, 2015 do I have to apply for renewal exactly before six months of the expiration date? Will I have any problems or delay in the process if I apply for renewal on April 10, 2015.

Hi,
you don't have to apply six months before it expires, but if you need it for traveling, it certainly is a good idea to do it as soon as you can. The current processing time as of today is 152 calendar days, so if you apply for renewal on April 10, 2015 there is a good chance that you will receive your new PR card just when the old card expires.
Applying at any time later than six months before the current card expires does not cause any problems or delays other than you might not have your new PR card when the old one expires. You can apply for renewal as early as 270 days before the old card expires.
I hope this helps
Klaus

Hi
If I apply for renewal of my pr card 6 or 7 months before expiry, will I get it only after expiry of old one or I can get the new one before expiry of old one?
