How to enter in Canada with expired PR card and how to renew it?

[camts1]

Dear concerns,

My PR card is expired in last month and i spend only 480 days in canada due to my family problems in my home country. My mother was expired and now my old father is alone here and ill. Due to that i couldnt complete my no. of days.

My two questions are ;
1. Can I enter in canada with expire PR card? Or Can i get Travel document from local consulate ?
2. Once i entered in canada then what will i have options to renew my PR card?

Now I have plans to go canada on permenant basis. Please suggest accordingly.

Regards;

1.  If you have only spent 480 days in Canada in the last 5 years, you have lost your PR status.
2.  If you card has expired, then you should contact the local consulate, they will determine if your status is lost.
3.  If you arrive at a Canadian port of entry, the IO will probably determine that you failed to meet your PR obligation and report you for inquiry.  The IO will let you in to Canada and you will have 30 days to Appeal the IAB (Immigration Appeal Board) or the removal order becomes effective.

Hi, I have applied renew PR card when the card is valid, but the approval came after my card expired.

I came to US for job interview before the card expired and now I got a job offer in USA, and I received a letter from Candian Immigration office and asked me to go back to Canada picking up my new card.

 But how can I travel to Canada with an expired PR card? If I apply the travel documents in USA, would be ok?

Please advise me.

Thank you,

Susan

You can apply for a travel document in the USA to get back to Canada to pick up your card.

Hi,

You may enter from the states by a private vehicle.  They do not ask for PR card.  All they ask for is the landing papers and your passport.  That has been the experience of one of my friends.
