Enter Canada with expired PR

[ammia_81]

My PR expired while I am outside Canada, and I am not meeting the RO.
Is there any way to enter Canada to visit my wife and kids, they are all living in Canada and they should wait for 2 years untill they can renew their PR?

Two options:

1) Fly to the U.S. and re-enter Canada through a land border using a private vehicle. There is a chance you may be reported for failing to meet RO.
2) Apply for a PRTD if you have strong H&C considerations for failing to meet RO.

What is H&C consideration?
What if I need only visit visa as a quick way to enter Canada? Is it possible and if yes how long it takes?

H&C is humanitarian and compassionate.

If you want to enter Canada on a visit visa, then you have to start by renouncing your PR status. Then you would apply for a visitor visa. How long that takes depends on where you are located.
