Hi,

I have a PR card which is expired 2 months back I am in US since last 7 months and I have a US green card. I want to enter canada as I have got some personal issues to take care. My question is will there be any issue if I enter canada with an expired PR card I have my own condo in canada ?
Will there be any issues at the border and what is the best way to enter canada without any issues.

Thanks in advance for your help.
 
Do you intend to enter with your GC as a 'tourist' or will you seek admission as a PR in which case you will need to show your landing documents. The only issue really is if the border agent as they correctly should admits you as a PR (including where they don't fall for any GC ruse) but in doing so reports you for breaching the Residence Obligation.
 
I would enter as a PR using the landing document. Are you planning to maintain your PR?
 
Yes I am planning to maintain the PR and its been only 7 months or so that i am away from canada and I have my own property in canada. What would be the best way to enter canada by car or by bus ? which is the easiest way to cross the border ? And can i rent a US rental car and cross the border will that be an issue ?

Thanks.

you will have drive in a private vehicle.
probably renting a US vehicle will raise questions on the CBSA part asking you where you live etc. They can also check if you still have a health card so they can report you that you are no longer a resident. As long as you meet PR obligation you should be fine.
 
I don't have my own vehicle is it fine if I cross the border in my friends car who stays in canada he has got a car with canadian license plate ? I still have my health card as well as my canada drivers license.
 
It should be fine. Just make sure you have your expired PR card and the landing document.
