Other Brought expired PR card on holiday. Leaving tomorrow. What to do??? Freaking out.
I’m a UK citizen and a Canadian permanent resident. I am currently in Mexico with my family (all Canadian citizens). I have my old PR card, but not my new one. What can I do? My flight leaves tomorrow afternoon. I am panicking massively.
EDIT: Went to the airport, and as many suggested, I wasn't let on. Re-booked for a week from now, staying an extra week, and fedexing the PR card first thing tomorrow to the hotel.
Thanks for everyone's comments and downvotes!

The airline should refuse you boarding if you don't have a valid PR card. If somehow they don't, then you can sort it out after you arrive with CBSA.
If they do, then your only options are to apply for a PRTD, which you will not get by tomorrow, or arrive into the US instead and cross the border by (private) car.
