Canadian PR visit back to USA

[BillyBelinda]

I am an American Citizen, but I have had Permanent Residency in Canada since 1985.
I am in urgent need to travel back to USA for two weeks, as my Father is very ill.
To travel back to USA and return to Canada by AIRPLANE, do I only need to show my Canadian PR Card and my American Passport?
Might it be better to DRIVE across the border to USA with a US passport and when I return to Canada, I only have to show my IMM 1000?

Yes.

Your Canadian PR Card is valid for re-entry, either by air or by road. No need for IMM1000 as you have the PR Card.
