Hi,
My and damily Pr will expire 2025 Aug. We could not fullfill PR obligation 730 days. If we will enter Canada from US border(Niagara), what chaces CBSA officer report us to revoke PR? What is your suggestion? Anyone who did like thwt, please share your opinion. You suggest to pass border by Car or by walking? Is there kiosk in Niagara border?

If you still have a valid PR card (which is what I assume you mean by "My and damily Pr will expire 2025 Aug"), why do you intend to cross via a land border? Do you currently live in the US?

No, but lawyers suggested me to pass over US, because less CBSA chanches will require to explenation about not entering Canada earlier

Well, not sure that's the best legal advice you could pay for. CBSA is pretty inconsistent in their application of the rules. More likely depends on the mood of the officer.

If a lawyer has suggested this pathway, then I suggest you ask him/her the questions you asked here. I agree with @Buletruck that this advice seems - at the very least - a little confusing, but as many here are, I too am hesitant to contradict advice you have received from a lawyer who (I assume) knows a lot more about your personal circumstances. Just make sure you are in fact speaking with an immigration lawyer (not a consultant) who is licensed to practice Canadian immigration law.
