Buddy,
My PR card was expired when i took the citizenship exam. Im planning to go to US to buy some groceries. But im just a little worried to do that right now thinking they might not allow me to come back in Canada. I dont want to renew my PR card because i already spent some money in the citizenship. I dont know what to do though.

Hi Kingmaker,
Actually i goes back and forth to US even with expired PR card. I have to buy some cheap stuff in US. All you have to do is show your Original confirmation of landing papers with an expired PR card. Tell them that your citizenship is in process. Thats it. Thats what i did and they let me in for quite a few times now.
The confirmation of your landing papers Never expires as long as you have a valid visa to go to US and even with expired PR card with the original confirmation of your landing paper. Your good to go... :D
