Your only hope is to either attempt to come to Canada right now, and not leave for two years, if you're allowed in OR to apply for a PRTD and pray that the medical excuses will waive the residency obligations.

Additional note: if the PR card expires on September 20, it's highly likely you landed before then - your initial 5-year period as a PR is based on when you land and not the PR card.

You will be able to enter but you could get reported for not meeting your residency obligations. The arguments againat you will be that you could have remained in Canada starting in 2015 and you also could have returned in the 2nd half of 2019 which is 6+ months after your kidney tranaplant. That is usually plsnty of time to recover from a kidney trnasplant. You are going to have to look into the cost of your medication in Canada since Canada doesn't have national pharmacare program.

You don't qualify for a travel document. Yout option ia to arrive before your PR card expires and try to not get reported or apply for a PRRD based on H&C reasons. If you have a US visa you can fly to the US, stay in thr US for 14+ days and try to enter the US/Canadian border without getting reported.

If you arrive in Canada before your PR card expires, then you will be allowed to enter the country.

the best choice for your relative is: stay in India.
due to the organ transplant and continuing observation, the stress of being in a new place it not going to be good for his health.
the best wishes in India.

Specific to your air travel: Highly likely scenario: You won't be allowed to board a flight to Canada, and the only recourse will be to Appeal the decision to IRB since the residency requirement is not met by a big count. Less likely scenario: You will be allowed to enter, with reporting (means will be issued a removal order, that you may appeal to IRB).
Both scenarios, since the residency is short by a huge count, and unless H&C considerations are allowed (need to establish existing strong family linkages in Canada and NO establishment in home country..which is tough), less chances of a successful appeal.

The travel to US and crossing via the land border to Canada is also subject to residency check, but in all probability will be allowed in by CBSA, while the reporting to IRCC may/may-not happen regarding residency obligation.

I believe you will need a consultation with experienced lawyer, so you have the right advise.

Having said this, relative to Canada, India has better quick address medical support system as long as one can afford it, and if you for see a continued need for medical attention, you may want to consider that in your overall decision.

Please treat this as my opinion...am not a legal expert. Best wishes!

Just to clarify previous post above in case any confusion about boarding a flight. The OP would be able to board a flight to Canada whilst their PR card is still valid. . The issue comes once the card expires given would need to apply for a PRTD without which then cannot board but in applying for a PRTD the OP would likely lose their PR status due to having failed the RO..

Note also that assuming the OP plans to arrive by August 30 they will need to follow the 14 day quarantine requirement which although a challenge on its own may well be even more so given their medical condition and treatment requirement if any
