Here is a 2022 case of renewing Canada permanent resident (PR) card.

First, we checked the Canada official website to get the newest inforamtion about renewing a PR card.

Note there are 5 steps there:

We can see a condition to renew a PR card is your card has expired or will expire in less than 9 months, that means if your PR Card is still valid for more than 9 months or 270 days, you should not apply for a renewal unless you have special reasons such as your name is changed.
