Canadian PR Card expired

I have a question concerning if a person got a Canadian PR card and he never lived in Canada after that and now the Canadian PR card expired after five years, what option does the person have in case he want to re-immigrate to Canada again? Does he have to re-play again from the beginning? Or there is a way to re-instate the expired Canadian PR card?

Thanks to all.

if you are in US then any of your friend can take you to Canada in Car or you can walk to Canada from any bridge and once you are in Canada you can send the PR card reneal application from Canada/ The form will ask info about your days out of Canada. Many fake the days on form you can do the same. FYI new PR card must be picked up in Canada from Local CIC office.
Did you got any help from the person who give Email id in above post?
 
Ginnu,

But once we walk into the Canada, you will be interviewed at port of entry (by road/air) right? Then the immigration officers at port of entry would not let you enter inside Canada once they come to know your PR card is expired.

How do you handle this situation?

------------------If you enter Canada by car then you are sitting in the car and customs officer asks your purpose. Just say “Permanent resident of Canada and returning home” or “Canada PR returning home” Go

You cant use Air. Train/Bus with expired PR Card.If go by air then you first meet Canada customs officer he/she just asks how many days you were out or when did you left Canada and many say left 10 days back to meet friends/relative in US and they normally don’t ask much as they don’t have exit data from Canada. If custom officer has any problem then they send you to immigration officer and if immigration officer is satisfied by your answer then he may write RR on your passport RR means returning resident. FYI Canada customs officer can’t stop your entry to Canada and Immigration officer can only write a report that he is not satisfied by your answer and according to Immigration officer you have abandoned Canada PR status and you will be admitted to Canada and will be given 30 days notice to appear before immigration judge to clear the matter. Air is not advised

Then the immigration officers at port of entry would not let you enter inside Canada once they come to know your PR card is expired.
-------------Expired PR card does not mean that your Status as PR of Canada got expired. don't mix PR card expiry date with PR status expiry. if you use Air then you need to have unexpired PR card. if you walk to Canada or use car or use Taxi then you can enter Canada with expired PR card. it is much better if any friend from Canada comes in card to US side and he is driving and you are sitting with him and in that situation the person driving the car can answer to Customs officer at Border.

How do you handle this situation?
