Apply for a travel document at a Canadian embassy in your country. Say that you were removed from Canada as a minor child by your father against your will and now you want to return. If you get the travel document and you have a pretty good chance, then you can return to Canada.

To add to Leon's post if you are a nationality/ citizenship that is visa exempt for Canada e.g. USA then travel to Canada with your national passport and the expired PR. The CBSA officer at the port of entry will establish you are a PR and ask you when you left Canada. Explain your circumstances and you may get let in without a report being made that you lost your PR status. Even if a report is made then you can appeal while in Canada.

If you are not visa exempt then apply for the TD. There is a section in the form that asks you to list compassionate reasons for the visa officer to consider.

If the TD route doesn't work out your mother can to sponsor you as a dependent child while you are still 22 or if older you remain in full time education.

Good luck
