PR Card

HI
I have a couple of issues, hope you can help.

I’m a PR of Canada, currently a British Citizen, working and living in Toronto.

I’m travelling to the U.S via Car for 1 week returning via car, this month.

I had a IM1000 Doc and a PR Card.

My PR has expired and I have applied for a new one in July…Still waiting.

My biggest nightmare has come true today I can’t find my IM1000 (only have a photocopy) and my PR card (expired) is missing, no where to be found.

Will I be allowed back into Canada with a photocopy, marriage licence,tax assesment, pay stubs etc? Via a boarder crossing?

MY next issue comes in January when I travel to the Caribbean for a week.

If I don’t have my PR Card sent to me by the time of Travel and I only have a photocopy of my IM1000 and the above supporting docs would you recommend to travel?

I don’t want to run the risk of not being allowed to board the plane to come home.

Feeling anxious…Thanks
