My first PR card expires Sep 27. However, I only lived in Canada for a few months in the past 3 and a half years and cannot meet the residence obligation.
It is because I was diagnosed with a tumor last year and undergo long-term treatment in my home country. Now I want to return, but I'm worried to get A44 since I do not meet obligation. To lower the risk, can someone tell me which route is safer: flying directly into YVR (use automatical machine) or fly to seattle and driving across the Seattle land border?
 
There is no safer route. Your card hasn't expired. Enter before September 27 and don't leave until you meet RO.
