  Although the two-body charmed decays $B_{(s)} \to \bar D_{(s)}^{(*)}P$ and
$\bar D_{(s)}^{(*)}V$, where $P$($V$) denotes a light pseudoscalar(vector)
meson, are CKM suppressed comparing with the $B_{(s)} \to D_{(s)}^{(*)}P$ and $
D_{(s)}^{(*)}V$ decays, they are important in the CKM angle $\gamma=\phi_3$
extraction method. We investigated these decays in the perturbative QCD
approach to the leading order of $m_D/m_B$ and $\Lambda_{\rm{QCD}}/m_D$
expansion. We find that the nonfactorizable emission diagrams and the
annihilation diagrams are not negligible in many of these channels. The
numerical results show that most channels have branching ratios with an order
of $10^{-6}$ or $10^{-7}$. The ratio needed for the CKM angle $\gamma$
extraction is estimated as $r = \frac{|A(B^- \to \bar{D}^0 K^-)|}{|A(B^- \to
D^0 K^-)|} = 0.092_{-0.003-0.003}^{+0.012+0.003},$ which is too small for the
experiments. Some of the $ B_{(s)}\to \bar D_{(s)}^*V$ decays have a very large
transversely polarized contribution that can reach 80%.
