After being approved for immigration, when can I leave??

It is possible that if the CBSA officer is told that you are immediately going back to your own country, they *may* decline to order the PR card at that time, requesting that you order it yourself when you return to Canada. We have seen reports of this happening.

We have seen cases whereby the applicant was denied PR status and told to apply when they are ready to settle in Canada as well. (i.e. applicant denied PR because the applicant needs to finish his/her studies first before coming to Canada).

Denied by CBSA or by CIC?
Sorry, I have trouble understanding under which regulation PR status can be denied at point of landing when CIC made a decision to grant it.

If the person landing says something to the effect they are not planning to settle that's one thing - could be construed as misrepresentation.
But leaving after landing to settle the effects in home country - not prohibited. In fact there are articles about how to do this even prior to receiving PR card on CIC and settlement web sites.

I am confused. AIUI you want to 'flagpole / soft landing' from Australia to Canada to activate your PR status then return within a short space of time. That is fine (I am planning to do this too in April, albeit from the UK). As others have said, good idea to give them the home address of a friend in Canada to send the PR card to, they can then courier it on to you in AUS.

Surely for this flagpole trip you would have bought return tickets (which BTW is absolutely fine with CBSA)?

Then when you are ready to finally 'land as a settler / to establish a residence', you can travel on whatever you like, one or two way tickets. I strongly suggest you check the price of one way vs return tickets anyway as very often (but not always) the cost of a one way ticket is more expensive than a return (if so, just don't bother using the return!).

thats the best idea to me as well. get return tickets from AUS

And another thing with the border people, always say as little as possible under any circumstances.

In the case being referred to, the applicant was refused landing by CBSA after telling the officer that their sponsor had just started a foreign Master's degree program and wouldn't be returning to Canada for a few years.
