No minor does not have valid PR card. She entered Canada in 2006 at the age of 2 years & came back.
Okay. First comment is to proceed carefully - if you/she would like to retain PR status for her, a wrong step could result in problems. Read carefully, there are other threads here on this.
She is still a PR but not in compliance (obviously) with residency obligation.
-She cannot come to Canada on a study permit as a PR. To request a study permit, she would have to renounce PR status (or lose it). There would be no guarantee of study permit as she would be applying as any other foreign national.
-While still a PR, she cannot board a flight to Canada without either a PR card or a PRTD. (If travel to USA and to arrive at land border is possible ie can enter USA, the PR can arrive at land border without either document, but I'm going to assume this is not the case; if she can come through USA, scenarios may be somewhat different).
-In most/many cases a PR who is grossly out of compliance with residency obligation who applies for a PRTD would be denied the PRTD, and the PR status would be revoked (subject to appeal). (Unless very, very good reasons for not being in compliance are provided).
-For PRs who were removed from Canada when a minor and make an application for PRTD at the earliest opportunity (meaning as soon as they reach adulthood, 18 years), the argument that can be made is that obviously, the minor had no part in the decision and as soon as was able to attempt to return/apply for PRTD, did so.
-This argument is a fairly strong one and often accepted. No guarantees. (Other factors such as ties to Canada and how much time the minor spent in Canada may influence this.)
-I
do not know about the situation that applies for a 16 year old because not an adult in most legal systems. Others can perhaps provide some detail. Applying without knowing how this will be treated would be risky.
You can see the complexity and if important to her/you, you may be best served to engage a lawyer.
Sorry, I am not giving complete answer but hope this partial explanation will help you research. Others may have information.
