hi. In march 2013 me ,my mother and sister applied for citizenship. my mom and sis had completed more than 3 yrs in Canada whereas I was under 18 then, so I applied with my mom ( I myself have spent only 14 months in Canada). on 30th November (today) I turned 18. our PR cards will expire in july 2014. Now my question is that if our citizenship call doesn´t come before july will I be eligible to apply for pr renewal though I haven´t spent 2 yrs in Canada. What if I get the citizenship call after PR expiry.
Plz note that we r all out of Canada and will go in march or may next year for renewal.
plz reply as I m really confused.

No - you are not eligible to apply for PR renewal. You will have to wait until you meet the residency requirement (730 days in Canada in the last 5 years) before you can apply.

Actually, I m currently studying in med school in my country so I will have to come back for my annual exams in august next year. What if we are summoned for the citizenship thing after august (when my card expires and I am back in my country) ?

If you are from a non-visa exempt country then you will have a very big problem on your hands.
You won´t be able to return to Canada with an expired PR card (no airline will let you board a plane). So you will have to apply for a Travel Document. The Travel Document will then be refused because you haven´t met the residency application. Once the TD has been refused, you will lose both your PR status and any chance of becoming a citizen.
Applying for citizenship doesn´t exempt you from meeting the residency requirement. You must meet the PR residency requirement until you actually become a citizen.
