activation of PR after loss of status

[gargamel47]

So my daughters who are ages 2 years and 3 years got their Conformation of permanent residence
However they came as visitors but have only had eTA (our country of citizenship is exempt from a visitor's visa)
and they have overstayed - about half a year longer
would it be possible to flagpole - meaning travel to the US border and make a U-turn then re-enter with their CoPR thereby resetting their original vistor's status and landing as immigrants?
Is there anyone here who was in a similar situation?

not sure if it was similar but wife was here on trv, got her pr file approved, we flagpoled and she landed as immigrant.

When you flagpoled was her trv expired and if so for how long?
My daughters never had a visitor's visa because they didn't need one but they did come in as visitors so I wonder
