Can I enter Canada?

[YaasTee123]

I have got Canadian PR in 2007. I landed and came back to US after 1 day. I live in US.
So i only stayed in Canada for 1 day in the last 4 years and not eligble for PR extension. The current card will expire in few months.

I'm going to Canada on a 4 day business trip and i will enter Canada using US green card.

1) Is it OK if I enter Canada using US green card?
2) Will they ask me at the immigration that I'm an existing Canadian PR?
3) Do I have to declare voluntarily that I'm a Canadian PR too? Can they find out?

I think you can use your Canadian PR card but not your US green card. Only US citizen can enter canada w/o visa.

Wrong, US Green card holders do not require a visitor visa to enter Canada.

PMM, if USA Green Card holders can enter Canada with the card, can Canada PR holders enter USA with Canadian PR as well?

Nope, not unless they are from a visa waiver country for the US.

Thanks guys. So I can use US green card to enter Canada. But Do I have to declare myself as Canadian PR too? Will they ask? What will they do if they find out I'm a Canadian PR too (and who cannot meet the requirement of residency obligations).

If your passport details are in the system, they are likely to ask you about your PR.
