I am an American and I currently live in Canada on a work permit valid through Dec 2010. I just got my PR visa and was planning to land next time I return to Canada following travel to the US. The problem is, with the holidays coming up, I have three trips to the US planned over November and December. If I land when I return from my first trip in early November, it sounds like I wont get my PR card in time for my next trip (American Thanksgiving) or even my third trip (Christmas)? I am flying for each of these trips.

If I don't land, I can just keep travelling on my work permit - but will they let me do this?? Once I return from my trip at Christmas, I don't expect to need to travel again for 6 or 8 weeks.

You can "land' anytime you want as long as the COPR is valid.

Thanks PMM. I guess the question is - if I have the PR visa in my passport, am I required to land on my next entry or can I wait? Is this going to cause problems?

No, you can land, as I said at any time.
