I called IRCC and one answer I got that I can travel back by road without PR card/with COPR. Is anyone has experienced with this? I just do not want to take any risk or stuck in USA.
You can travel by road in a private car, not anything commercial. So, no buses or trains.

It is my understanding as well that you can return by road to Canada using COPR. PR card is needed when travelling by a commercial carrier. I am sure someone here will respond that they have done it.

Yes you can do this without issues. Copr is enough to get you back in at the land border via private vehicle. PR cards are required to board a flight or commercial carriers.

I have done it a few times when my PR card was expired.

Great to know. Were you always meeting the RO when you entered using COPR?

No I wasn't. I was about 30 days short and had no choice but to travel for work. I was honest when entering through the land border and fidn't get reported. I guess I got a nice officer.
