Time to process PRTD = time to process PR renewal

Hi,

Experts, please comment on my statement.

If your PR card renewal is 'in process', my conclusion from reading through this forum is that it may take as early as 2 days, or as long as 2 years for completing the process. Good or bad - that is the situation with CIC as of date.

Meanwhile, if you travel out of Canada, then do not expect your PR travel document available to you abroad UNTIL completion of processing of your PR card renewal application in Canada.

Hence I say - Time to process PRTD = time to process PR renewal application. (assuming you applied for PR renewal and left Canada).

Decision to issue you a PRTD is taken by the same office in Canada who is processing your PR renewal application and not the local office abroad.

Local office abroad just forwards your PRTD application to CIC - Canada and waits their decision. CIC-Canada need to review your meeting the residency obligations and approve your PRTD before it can be issued by CIC local office abroad.

Is my understanding and statements I made here are right? 

Experts please comment, your comments will be useful to many on this forum. Thanks in advance.
