Hi. I'm a Canadian PR and my card expired in January. I have started the process for a renewal about 2 months ago. Anyway here's my problem. My mum become sick on 29 august I rushed back to the UK to be with my mum. My Canadian wife come with me. Sadly my mum passed away the morning after we arrived. We knew we would have to do a PRTD, what we didn't know was it could take 2 months to get back. We have emailed everyone we can think of with no reply. We also have our local MP on Vancouver island trying to help. Is there any compassionate way I can re enter Canada with an expired PR card. I just want to be back home with my wife and girls at this time. My wife went home 2 days ago. Thank you in advance for your help

Agreed with the comment above, apart from waiting for the PRTD, the only other option is to fly to the US and then re-enter Canada through a US/Canada land border using a private vehicle.

Ah - that sucks. I'm not familiar with the US travel restrictions in place at this time.
