Do I understand correctly:
If my card is expired abroad and I need to return to Canada:
1. If I get a permanent resident travel document, it means:
-- I have met the requirements to remain a permanent resident;
-- I can enter to Canada on any commercial carrier and private car;
-- The border officer will not ask questions about PR-card, which expired;
-- Upon entry to Canada, I can immediately apply for a new PR-card.
2. If I did not apply for a travel document, it means:
-- I can't enter to Canada on any commercial carrier;
-- I can enter to Canada on private car, or cross the border on foot?;
-- The border officer will ask questions about PR-liabilities.
