Expired PR Card - what are the options?

My dad received his PR more than 10 years ago, but he left Canada more than 5 years ago and did not maintain his residency obligations or renewed his PR card,

Now, with the war in Ukraine, I want to bring him back, as it may not be safe to stay there any longer.

What are available options, given that he needs a valid PR card to be able to board the plane. Do I try to renew it (which would be problematic, since he did not maintain his residency) or should I just apply for an entry document under the new CUAET program for Ukrainians?

I also should mention that my mom is a Canadian citizen and she is there with him right now. If there is an opportunity for her to be his 'sponsor' in a way, please advise.

Thank you in advance - this has been heart wrenching for me to watch what is going on, and worry sick about them.
