Impossible to say. You also may have difficulty getting a health card, a driver’s license and a SIN# if you don’t have one. If you have one it may be on hold if never used. Do you have an H&C reason why you didn’t meet RO with proof?

As correctly pointed out answered the wrong question. Yes you will be allowed in but impossible to say whether you will be reported for not being compliant with your RO which I assume is your concern.

Are you a US citizen? What passport do you hold?

You will be allowed to enter Canada.

That's probably not your real question. And it appears that's not the question @canuck answered . . . or if it was, if that was intended to respond to whether you "will be allowed to enter Canada?" then it is in error, as it is more than possible to say since you will be allowed to enter. Of course you must properly identify yourself.

Worst case scenario is you are questioned about RO compliance and subject to inadmissibility proceedings that result in being issued a Departure Order. But you will still be allowed to enter Canada and the Departure Order will not be enforceable for so long as you have a right of appeal. That's the worst case scenario.

There are many, many discussions here about the various ways it can go at the Port-of-Entry, and what that means. (Again, you will be allowed entry, but there is a range in what can happen otherwise, and what options you will then have.)

Yes answered the wrong question. Impossible to say if you will be reported but yes any PR will be let into Canada.

Then people will come back saying they can’t get a SIN, they can’t register for healthcare .

Healthcare is a provincial jurisdiction. If the CBSA wants to let people in without reporting them for a RO violation, Godspeed . That doesn’t mean the province is going to just roll over or should they change there policies

People are adults . People have to take responsibility for there actions

Or some on here will say the province should just let them register . Why is that ? I’m a day late in filing my taxes I get hit with a penalty , I owe money , I owe interest . I get caught speeding , there’s a ticket

Rules are rules . People should just be thankful that they aren’t reported

I do have a SIN# and opened a bank account as well when I landed. My main concern was entry, if I was reported and a departure order is issued, can I appeal it and how long would it take for the appeal to get resolved? Any chances (I know it’s impossible to say because it entirely depends on the judge.) that the departure order can be overturned?

You will [likely] know if a 44(1) report is written. This is what could lead to PR status being revoked.
You would be able to remain in Canada pending your hearing, so long as you are not deemed to be inadmissible to Canada (i.e. criminality).

Got it. How long would it take to get to the hearing and in the mean time can I work jn Canada? Because my PR card is expired and can’t really apply until I’m in Canada for 2 years

Im new to this forum
It seems to be quite common here that many people have expired PR cards and want to return back to Canada but do not meet residency.

Anyways lets assume you are reported at the border, once you get your report you have to appeal within 30 days and most probably depending on the backlog of applications to the IAD most likely 1.5/2 yrs remember these days wont count towards your residency because the report was already made, what you must do if you are reported is during those 1.5/2 yrs build as many ties to Canada, such as but not limited to employment/family ties/cultural activities because during your hearing you must show them that you have settled in Canada and your return could cause you hardship.

If You Somehow Aren't reported/waived through(Please make sure that you weren't reported because sometimes there is a chance you might not even know cause you have a right to enter Canada they will let you in because of this some think that they were waived through but in reality they were not and in some cases miss the appeal period and then thats it).Assuming you were waived through you can work here thats not going to be a problem.even if you weren't reported still you can work here.

Hope This Helps!
Good Luck.

Yes, you can work.
