Thank you so much for your response, it is really clear. Really appreciated.
I plan to move definitely in Canada on January.
I’m going to apply for the PRDT this week. They will notice that I don’t meet the RO and they might start the process to revoke my PR status. I understand I can appeal.
During the revocation process, can I take a plane to Canada ? Or I have to enter through the US ? I plan to quit France with my kids on January 2020 (they will be in vacation in France) and I prefer take a direct flight.
Thanks for your valuable advice !

Generally, as best I can, I steer from offering personal advice. With exceptions, such as suggesting approaches which are more or less obviously better.
This one is border line. But if you can travel via the U.S., and you are indeed planning to come to Canada this next January (in just over two months from now), to stay, it is probably better to NOT apply for a PR Travel Document . . . rather, to make the trip via the U.S.
I noted the advantages in my previous post; the chance of being allowed in without being Reported, after explaining your situation (honestly of course) and your intentions to now stay, is a big, big factor.
Additionally, it warrants observing, just the fact that you actually came to Canada intending to stay in Canada, can be a significant factor in the decision whether to allow you to keep PR status. This can influence the decision at the PoE, and influence the decision in the appeal (if necessary). We do not have hard statistics, but for a PR in basically the same circumstances, it appears the chances of relief (leniency) at the PoE are far better than the chances for being granted a PR TD.
As inconvenient as it might be to travel via the U.S. with your children, the fact you are accompanying family who are settled in Canada, especially a child who is a young Canadian citizen, could be the factor which tips the scales toward allowing you to enter Canada without being reported. That would be a big deal.
But another significant factor is that UNLESS you have been IN Canada within the previous year, you are NOT likely to be issued a special PR TD, so you would end up having to travel to Canada via the U.S. anyway (noting that if you do not come to Canada and stay pending an appeal, the odds of the appeal being successful go down dramatically).
Again, actually advising you to travel via the U.S., if possible, rather than applying for a PR TD, is something I ordinarily I do not do. I am not qualified to give personal advice. There are, undoubtedly, many facts and circumstances in your situation that may be relevant to your decision which I cannot possibly credibly weigh, and thus this is very much YOUR PERSONAL decision to make. But in general, the scales tend to tip rather distinctly toward coming via the U.S. rather than applying for a PR TD.
Final note: it would be different if there were more compelling H&C reasons justifying the delay in coming to Canada. A positive H&C decision in a PR TD application should lead to a relatively prompt issuance of a new PR card, which can make the logistics of living in Canada significantly simpler, easier. But the odds of being granted a PR TD seem rather dismal. This is not certain. Again, we have virtually no statistical information to rely on and thus must discern what we can from anecdotal reports in addition to what we can extrapolate from the published IAD decisions. But one salient indicator is that it appears very likely that the majority of PR RO cases seen in appeals derive far more often from denied PR TD applications than from 44(1) Reports issued at a PoE. There may be many explanations for this, but one of the more probable ones is that PR TD applications tend to be denied more than PRs are Reported at a PoE.
