Looking for Advice on Returning to Canada as a PR

[canadatest06]

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for anyone who has entered Canada on their PR status with only a few months left on their PR card or knows someone who has.

Here’s my situation: I entered Canada on PR status in August 2020, stayed for about a week, and came back. Post that, lived and worked in Canada for around 4 months in 2023. My PR card is expiring in August 2025, and I haven’t met the 730-day residency requirement over the last 5 years (have stayed for a total of 120 days till now).

I’m wondering if I can still return to Canada without any issues, and what challenges I might face at the border or during PR card renewal. Any insights, advice, or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated!

I'm planing to go on 1st January, 2025.

Thank you!
