He knew it had it expired, and thought he could just renew it when reentering from Canada. (A naive assumption under this administration)

(I Read this from a Canadian news source over the weekend)

Frankly, if it had been the other way around, he probably would have been denied entry to Canada as well.

A similar thing happened to us several years ago - our PR cards had expired and there was a backlog in getting our new cards, so Immigration sent us a letter verifying there was a delay that wasn’t our fault - we had to show it at the border for months until our new cards came. Without that letter, we could have been denied entry even though our home our jobs were in Canada.
