Topic:
When should/ can I apply for PR card Renewal?

Hi everyone:

SITUATION:

My PR card expires next year - on August 5, 2016.

I will be sending out my citizenship application this week (by Sept 14, 2015).
-------------------------------------------------------

MY QUESTION:

1] How long before my PR card expiration date can I apply for its renewal?

2] Will applying for PR card renewal process in any way affect my sending out my CITIZENSHIP application processing?

---------------------------------------------------------
Here's what I found which caused confusion:

Instruction guidelines page on CIC website states that -"Do not apply for renewal of your current PR card if it is still valid for 9 months(270 days), otherwise your application will be returned.

While the HELP CENTRE/ FAQ on the same website states that" You should renew your card 6 months before it expires"

-------------------------------------------------------

Will greatly appreciate a response!

Thanks
