I don't know if being in the US working is considered a valid H/C reason to not use your PR. You can try the lawyer who owns this forum. I have heard he's good. Since it's not like you are just short a few days though, if you never went to Canada, you are short like almost 2 years, I don't know if it's worth a try. Maybe just apply again.

If your PR card is still valid, you can try going to Canada and see what will happen. If they tell you that you have to prove your residency because you have been gone too long, they will let you in for a month and give you the paperwork so you can then make your H&C appeal. I do not know what kind of odds you have on being accepted for that.

Or if they actually let you in without any questions, you can apply for a new PR card and list your H&C reasons on there. Or if you get in without any questions, you could also pretend you don't know that you lost your PR status and get a job and see if they kick you out. If you do that, it would be advisable to stay in Canada for at least 2 years and not try to apply for renewal of your card until then. If your card it still valid now, you can use it for your initial registrations for example for health care etc. and you will not need it by the time it expires. There is no law in Canada that says you must have a valid PR card at all times. It's mainly for travel.

If your PR card has expired, you need to ask for a PR visa to go to Canada so you can apply to renew your PR card. On that application, you will fill out how long you have been in Canada and then you can make your H&C appeal.
