Canada Entry and leave before getting PR Card

[lookcanada]

On receiving PR, I would like to know if we can visit Canada for a week, perform requisite documentation, apply for PR card and return back to home country. We have our close relatives there. Can we give their address to receive our PR card and they courier back to us ?

This is done very frequently. I did the same.

Thanks a lot Roshantrv83 & Zardoz !!

Any feedback 1 week is good enough and what all need to do done during that time.
I was told by my friend that, all documentation was done in Airport while he landed at Airport. In his case, 1st week was busy week as he had to search accommodation, open bank account, search job etc.

I only took 5 days before going home. Long enough to land and get my SIN. I came back to Canada 10 months later to live permanently. That's when I sorted out Health Card and Driving Licence etc.

How long does it take to receive the PR card typically?

How long does it take to receive the PR card typically?

2- 3 months on an average.

Typically 1 year from date of medical check would be date by when we need to Canada, is that correct ?
Do they allow entry beyond 1 year of medical check ?

Hi guys,
I want to do the same thing. I am inland applicant but want to leave canada for a month before getting PR card but after landing so can i change my address for PR card while doing landing or is it safe to parcel the PR card. I read in other threads that it is illegal to do that? Thanks

The average published on the website http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/ is 41 days as of this writing, but I must say that it is not accurate. I got my PR card in 35 days and my family got theirs in 30 days. A similar timeline was mentioned by a friend of mine.
