My pr card status says we started processing on 3rd dec 2018. till not no sign of it. The webform reply says it is delayed because of second review.

I am less then 730 residency obligation for my second card. i have a hearing for my spouse application in september 2019. someone suggested to travel via usa border as the land border officers are lenient. but i am from Pakistan and wear hijab. USA is critically analyzing Pakistanis.

should i apply for PRTD from pakistan. ? or travel to canada via usa border?

A PRTD is going to be refused if you don't meet the residency requirement.

Are multiple people using the same account? In https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...s/spouse-sponsorship-local-mpa-letter.609011/ you say that you are a Canadian citizen.

Please do not share your account. They are free and there is no reason to not have your own.
 
How many days have you spent in Canada in the past 5 years? Are you the one who have renewed your PR card that is in secondary review? Are you the one who got divorced after 1 year and sponsored another spouse?

You must meet the Residency Obligation requirements on the day that you apply for the PRTD. If you don't, you risk your PR status being revoked, even if you have a PR card application in progress.

Where were you when you applied for the PR card renewal and where have you been since?
Normally, a secondary review of your PR card application is because they are not convinced that you are compliant with the Residency Obligation requirements on the day you submitted the application form.

How have you applied to sponsor your spouse if you don’t meet your RO? You also should never apply for PR renewal when you haven’t met the residency obligation. Should also mention you likely didn’t meet the residency obligation to receive healthcare when you returned even with a valid card. You needed to contact your provincial health organization when you left for an extended period of time and then when you returned.
 
One other thing, if you are sponsoring a spouse, you MUST be residing in Canada for the whole of the application process.
It appears that you are not, so you may expect to be refused. There are no H&C exemptions to this as far as I am aware.

Were you the one who got divorced? If so you didn’t qualify to sponsor another spouse for 5 years since you became a PR.
