HI. My PR card expired on 16 January 2020. At that moment I and my family had lived in Canada only for 3 months, 2 from November 2019. We have a drive license, SIN, Health card. I can not renew my PR card and have to stay for 730 days in Canada before applying. The principal of the school wants a valid PR card for registration of my daughter. What can I do? Is there any other document that can prove my status?
Your healthcare cards also need to be renewed because it doesn't seem like you havr ever me he resifency obligations to receive healthcare in Canada.

Hello! I badly need your help.
I have a situation. I landed as PR last October 2019, and stayed their for 3 months. I came back in my home country January of 2020. (Then pandemic happened) I was not able to come back in CA. August 2021 I was able to come back again in Canada. And then went back home January 2022.

My PR will expire on November 2024. And I'm planning to go back Feb 2024. I'm short by 190 days out of 730 days for RO. Already included the days from Feb-Nov 2024. Question:
  1. Will I still be allowed to enter canada? I'm worried that I will encounter any issues in the airport. Second,
  2. Can I still renew my PR
I would really appreciate your advise! Thank you in advance!

1. You will be allowed to enter but you may be (or may not) reported for not able to meet your RO.
2. You can only renew your PR CARD after you stay long enough to meet your RO.
