You probably need ETA, but...

You may already have one automatically, check here: https://onlineservices-servicesenligne.cic.gc.ca/eta/applicationQuery?lang=en

Do you have a US green card?
What is your citizenship?
How are you entering back into Canada?

What is your original status in Canada? Visitor?

You're usually cautioned not to leave Canada when you're doing inland until it's complete since your PR application will be cancelled if you aren't able to re-enter Canada. Short-term trips have been considered fine, but nobody can guarantee you this.
