Not sent outside Canada by CIC. Sent to valid Canadian address only
CIC post PR cards to the address you've provided by mail. Your friend can send PR card for you but it is advised to avoid post it. Ask someone to bring it when he/she is traveling into your country.
Sometimes as it happened to one poster recently, that the PRC form got returned saying the applicant needed to resent photos. In this case, you send your photo for processing and once it is ready, you might need to go to the local office for pick up.
