I thought it might be useful for you. Do I require a Permanent Resident Card if I'm returning to Canada by car?
No matter how you travel back to Canada, all permanent residents entering Canada must satisfy the border services officer that they have valid permanent resident status. A valid permanent resident card is the best proof of your status.
If you do not present your card when you return to Canada, you may be asked to show one of the following documents:
a completed Confirmation of Permanent Residence form;
the original Record of Landing (if it is dated 1973 or later);
a passport stamped with the date you were granted permanent residence (if your Record of Landing is dated 1972 or earlier);
a certified true copy of a Record of Landing document issued by CIC National Headquarters; or
a letter issued by CIC National Headquarters attesting to your permanent resident status.
The border services officer may also need to confirm your permanent resident status by asking you questions and checking our information systems.

u will get them at the given address either u r around or not. But in any case, these cards are not important but the number only. U need to memorize the number by any means. Nobody will ever ask or require to see card but number only. U will anyway be asked to keep cards in a safer place and carry number only with you all the time

I am facing the same problem. I had applied for a sin card a month back, got the number but still didn't receive a card. How about your status. Did you recieve ur sin card or what ?

I called SIN people and they said they had sent the card. But it never reached me. I think it got lost in the mail.
I am out of canada. Once I return, I will order a new one.
I think you should call the canada service center helpline. You can find its no. on CIC website.
