Not meeting RO, but with valid PR card, best way to go back to Canada?

[nicklove128]

Hi guys, could you please kindly help advise?

I'm currently outside of Canada and I didn't meet the RO. But I have a PR card valid until 2020.

Is it better to go back to Canada by plane or by train/bus from US border? Which method has less chance of being reported?

Thank you guys so much!

No difference which border crossing you chose odds are all the same and could even depend on the CBSA officer you encounter . Could even be down to questions asked or how busy they are. On your side at least is having a PR card valid until 2020 although if you have not met the RO that is only a small positive in your favour. Good luck.

same answer. it doesn't matter where you cross the border, the chances of being reported are the same.

Thank you for your answer.

I've heard that the officers at the border are less strict than the custom. Even if it's just 1% less risky than passing from the custom, it could make a difference.

In this case, do u think crossing from US border by bus is a better solution here? Thank you so much for your advise.

They are all CBSA officers. Makes no difference at all.

Can you enter into Canada? If yes, then what will happen after the officer report you?

If reported, the process to start revoking PR will start.
