Starting date of extended RP?

Post by jperickson » Wed Oct 20, 2021 3:19 pm

Does anyone know, if you apply for your first extended RP based on family ties and receive a favorable decision before your first RP expires, is the new expiration date 4 years from the expiration of the first RP or 4 years from the day it was granted (which could be earlier in this situation)?

Thank you!

Hi.
In my case, I renewed my PR permit last January. My previous permit was valid until December 2020 (can't remember the exact date).
I started the renewal process in September 2020, but I could not get to the interview until January.

My new PR card's valid until 27.1.2026. January. I got the card on 27.1.2021.
So I was without the permit for about one month.
Hope this helps.

So in your case, your starting date will be the day the PR permit is issued.

Following up on this in case anyone is interested: My new RP was issued before my initial RP expired. The starting date on the new extended RP is the date that my initial RP expires, not the date the new RP was issued.
