The days you spend in the US will count as days outside of Canada. They cannot be counted towards your PR residency requirement.

Oh i thought if i travelled by road (up and down) so they might consider it

Can you clarify what you mean by that?

Are you going to be spending every night in Canada and only crossing the border into the US for the day (then returning to Canada each evening)?

No i thought spending days in US never count if travelled by road
My PR is expired and i am already completing days for residency obligation
Just 4 month’s remaining so i have plan to study in US but after your advice i think i should wait for next 4 months until i meet residency requirement

It doesn't matter how you travel. The days you spend in the US will count as days outside of Canada.

You could be using trains , planes or automobiles. If you’re outside the country it’s not counting

You should make sure you are compliant with your RO. It would be even better if you waited until you all had valid PR cards and were compliant with your ROs.
