My PR card has expired, need to go visit family in Toronto for Christmas. Booked plan ticket already as well.

Can I apply for an ETA? Has anyone done this before? If I get accepted, does this mean I am all good or could show up to airport and they reject me still?

As mentioned in your other thread, you can't get an eTA approved while you are still a PR. Although your PR card has expired, you are still a PR. You need to renounce your PR status if you want to get an eTA approved.
