My pr card type is FC1
I was sponsored by my ex-husband, but we divorced later. I don't know whether they will take this into judgement

Who is “we”? Your child is not PR and will not be until you meet RO and can sponsor your child. Your child would be a visitor. Is your child accompanying you? Do you have full custody?
Yes, I understand. "We”，I mean people like me who have expired card can renew health card by using landing paper.
Yes, I have full custody. I do not sure whether my kid can got a visitor visa or not. If I apply a visa for my kid, they will find my pr status in their system. If so, maybe I choose to go first, and then apply visitor visa for her.
Your landing papers are only valid for the first year as identification. After that, you need a PR card. If you child can't get a trv, you are looking at 2 year before you could even begin the sponsorship process.
Yes, this is the most heartbreaking result if my kid can't get a trv.
Sounds like it's not a good choice. Maybe it would be better to reapply.
If you want your child to come with you then apply for the child’s TRV for Canada and the US and see if approved. Child would need both if crossing with you over US border. Assume you have US visa too. Given you are PR (and out of status), being approved may be difficult. You will have to show that you have full custody, and have consent from parent that child can leave the country. If you have a court order saying your child can leave the country without consent then you are okay.
Your child will not have access to health/social services so make sure the child has private health insurance for a few years.
It depends most probably the appeal will fail as well but taking a chance is better.
If the person has been out of Canada for a certain amount of time and has not met the residency requirement to receive healthcare in that province will need to reapply for a new healthcard. A valid healthcard does not mean you qualify for health coverage. You must meet the residency requirement to qualify for healthcare in the province and have a valid health card. If you don’t have a valid PR card and need to reapply for a health card yes that may be a problem. You could be asked to prove that you were a resident in the province if you have had no activity on your health card for a period of time.
In some areas they won’t have access to schooling without a study permit and paying international fees for public school.
Have you also looked at the cost of living especially as a single parent? Unless you have a good salary it is very difficult to be a single parent.
If you're not confident that you could win an appeal, you might want to seriously consider renouncing and reapplying. Coming back to Canada and having to leave soon thereafter because your status has been revoked, would not be fun...or inexpensive.
I'm by no means an expert, but being away for so long, combined with your own doubts, carries a lot of weight.
Good luck!
Also to consider is whether OP would get ITA for PR based on her profile after renouncing PR. So if not close to getting an ITA she has to consider that too. Also has to consider that her child would not be approved for a TRV to the US and Canada. Child has a high chance of refusal. Would OP come to Canada without the child and wait years to be reunited?
I have a very different situation.
I have spent a total of 11 months in Canada after I landed as PR. I came back to Canada in June Last year and applied for renewal of my PR card in July 2022 on H&R Grounds (specifying my wives medical treatment being underway in home country) and her spousal application taking long time.
My gc key says application received on 21 july 2022. After that i am yet to receive any update. Now after waiting for that long I am planning to return to Canada via land border .
what are the possible scenarios I can witness and what I need to say to the immigration officer at the port of entry . My wife has a Valid PR Card and she would be travelling with me.
Thank you

I'm not confident with the result of appeal.
I'm also not confident with reapplication.
It's a dilemma.
