PR status is not at all dependent on having a valid PR card.

There is no requirement that a PR possess a valid PR card. Nothing which requires a PR to renew the PR card.

A valid PR card can be necessary, however, to prove status for purposes of obtaining certain benefits in some provinces. Depends. In Ontario, for example, OHIP allows residents to present an expired PR card to prove status so long as the card has been expired less than five years.
Bureaucracy is what bureaucracy does, or When in doubt, follow the instructions. Otherwise, follow the instructions.



BTW: Not an expert, not a Can. lawyer, never worked in immigration
