First of all, you cannot apply for H&C while outside of Canada. You must be physically in Canada to apply for H&C.
Based on the information you've provided, your chances of success would likely be very low. The fact your family is all in Canada isn't typically grounds for an H&C application.
How is it that all of them obtained PR and you didn't? Were you too old at the time they applied?
My dad applied it and I was replied by the IRCC that my file is being actively reviewed
Are you still under 22?
If you are, and was declared back then, they may be able to sponsor you as dependent.... But I am not sure.
I don't see the H&C ground for your case thought.
I have been in canada for my father's job placement in Toronto and moved to Hamilton in dec2006. I've had my PRstatus at that time and I had my social insurance number which start by the number 5.But in Jan2008 I came back to India.Now I am currently studying in Hungary ,Europe for my Bachelor's .Currently I wanted to pursue my higher studies in ONTARIO .But the problem is that the visa which I have is in my expired passport.So should I renew my pr status by flying to canada?What documents can i submit by online?So Wat r my chances of getting a H&c approval.
H&C to retain PR? Slim to none. Your story does not show any H&C considerations.
To fly directly to Canada you need to apply for PRTD.
You can also fly to the US if you have a US visa and then cross to Canada by land border. If reported, you will mostl likely lose PR. If not reported, do not leave for 2 years and apply to renew your PR card.

As above get a US visa or an ESTA if from a visa waiver country. Travel to the US and attempt to enter Canada via a land border.
As a PR you would still be entitled to enter but with a 12 year gap likely you would be reported leading to your status being revoked. If not reported you stay put for 2 plus years before applying to renew your PR card.
Otherwise you renounce your PR status apply for a study permit followed by a PGWP followed by a fresh PR application. Of course this would mean international fees and a plan that could take a few years to achieve.
None of this is likely possible whilst COVID travel restrictions are in place in particular to the US and you cannot fly to Canada without a valid PR card or a PRTD. If you applied for the latter it is likely your PR status would be revoked due to the 12 years away so failing the 2 years in every 5 residency obligation
By all means you could make an H&C application if removed as a minor by your parents but chances are slim of approval given older post 18 you get the harder it is to justify and also processing time could be a negative

nothing you can do to not get reported. this is uncontrollable.
Your OHIP will have lapsed so you will need to apply for one, hard to do without a valid PR card so you may also need to wait 2 plus years before you can apply for OHIP. SIN would be deactivated so you will need to reactivate. Not sure how that works.
