Please check the link below for the processing time of PR Cards...Immigration Officer will take down all the details and dont forget to provide them with address when landing and you will get the PR cards in the mail after the processing time at the given address...

Thank you.
Just to clear myself, do I need to fill in the form to apply for PR Card or is it just Immigration Officer at the time of landing will take down all the information along with the mailing address and the PR cards will be mailed off?

on the website, it says 35 days for the New PR Cards, does that include mailing time?

Thanks

You don't need to fill out anything. During the landing process, the IO will ask for your address, and that's it. the PR cards will be mailed off.
It includes "mailing time" but of course it's not a precise science! it varies as well - a few months ago it was 55 days waiting time, now it's down to 35 days, but it might be up again when you land ( so don't book a flight based exactly on that timing, give a few weeks buffer if you are planning on leaving the country again).

Is it possible that i will be asked to appear in person to collect PR Card ?as i am planning to stay in Canada for only 5 weeks and will return back home and my friend would forward the card to me overseas.
