No you should be stopped if you have been out of Canada for over 3 years and haven’t met your residency obligation. The reality is that many people are able to get through especially if they have a valid PR card. It comes down to a lot of luck.So, is there a rule that anyone leave Canada for more than 2 years or 3 years will trigger a CBSA check for PR RO when reenter?
How about I leave Canada after sending PR renewal application and return on a date very close to PR card expire? Will I be stopped by a CBSA officer?No you should be stopped if you have been out of Canada for over 3 years and haven’t met your residency obligation.

You are asking a question that can't be answered. There is no magical border that doesn't report people. If you are reported or not depends on a bazillion things out of your control. Time of day, who is on duty, were they recently told by their superior officers to pay closer attention, is the border guard a fresh graduate of "border guard school" So even if the OP says that they were flagged at - say - Ambassador bridge that doesn't mean that you should now go anywhere but the Ambassador bridge. People get flagged all over the place.HI bricksonly,
Could you tell me which border were you reported ? If you traveled by road then which Point of entry was it ?
I am also in the same situation with not meeting RO and will be driving next month. Please suggest something from your experience which might help me in avoiding getting flagged.
Thanks
The question of ghousekhan007 is valid, as it is generally advised that cross through the US border on a private vehicle & most probably you will be through. Now It is important to know that bricksonly has tried in Canada on a flight or through road... So bricksonly pls respond that hv you entered by road or a plane or through ship...Hi

I will be nasty to comment but.
All those that are now asking about the crossings. You should have think about your PR obligations sooner. All and all that requirement is not even that difficult to fulfill. Why do you need PR if you do not indent to live in Canada?
If you wish to do so, all you needed is to get the citizenship and then you can move whereb
If you have a valid H&C case you can still present it if you are reported.
I didn't got reported because I travel a lot however I always meet RO. The longest gap between my leaving and reentering is 10 months and when I entered I was driving with my family from US for Christmas vacation. Never be stopped. I do reply the officer that I am backing home for vacation.
