Yes, they can travel to their home country without a valid PR card. They need their passport.

They'll need to either arrive to a land border ie from USA, OR apply for an get a PR travel document.

You haven' specified whether they are in compliance with residency obligation, which is very important in this context.

What does residency obligation mean?

They have been living here since 2009 and never lived outside Canada,

The residency obligation is to reside in Canada 730 days of any five year period (or have been out of Canada less than 1095 days, which is the same thing). If they've been living in Canada and in last five years have travelled little or none, they should be okay - but they must actually count the number of days to be careful.

They should obviously apply to renew the PR card (but it will take some months, if they travel soon, they'll need to apply for the PRTD). If they meet the criteria for citizenship, they can apply for that at the same time (or later) and eventually not have to deal with this in future.

Your friend should prépare in advance to apply. And apply immediately on arrival wherever that is.

Be prepared it won't he overnight, i have no idea how long it might take.

So what about when they return to Canada?Do they need to obtain PRDT to enter Canada?

They need one of the following:

1) PRTD from the nearest Canadian consulate;
2) a valid PR card

Or can enter through land border ie USA with expired card, if of course have possibility / visa to enter there.

Assume they didn’t get asylum in Canada.
