If your permanent resident (PR) card is expired or will expire in less than 9 months, you can apply for a new card. The new card will have a new expiration date. Most new PR cards are valid for 5 years.
Since you applied earlier the old one is of no use. You need this new one to travel. Where is the new PR card? If in canada make arrangements for getting the same at your end.

Have you been asked to pick up your new PR card in person? That is a common request. You'll need a PRTD to fly to Canada.

Or you can try your luck through the US (if you have a visa) and a land border (showing your expired PR card and COPR)?

Hi Steaky
The issue is with this new pandemic because of covid i would rather wait here in Pakistan to get the new Pr card to receive and then travel I do have US visa and in past I was using the same trip to enter because of the PR card took too long due to residency obligation this was the reason I applied this time quite earlier and luckily I had enough days and they issued the new pr card with in two months time

you can do whatever you want as long as you keep meeting your RO which is now a rolling total. You must have been in Canada for 2 out of 5 years anytime you enter Canada.
