My PR card expired, waiting for paper work/interview to clear. Can I still cross

[TechJohn]

I was dumb enough to not pay attention to card date of expiration. Thankfully, a border guard told me the car will expire the next day. I did not ask him, if it was still possible to cross from Canada and into the United state and Back into Canada.

Paperwork should be approved by the end of December as stated in the 90 day wait period.

Now, Can I pass from Canada into the US, which is my Home country and then cross back into Canada? Or will I be stopped and prevented from crossing?

Is there a web site that talks about this?

Thanks

Depends on your means of travel. If you are travelling by land a your private car, you may enter Canada using your passport and COPR(confirmation of permanent residence) document.

If you are travelling by plane, a valid PR is required. However, if you are from a visa-exempt country, you may be lucky enough to enter using just your passport but to be on the safe side, have a valid PR card as well.
