Anyone have recent experience of the issue time for the first PR card?
Formally landed as out of country applicant with COPR 2 weeks ago. Landed and signed off in Montreal but residence is in Ottawa. I submitted Ottawa address. I have to return to my home country in three weeks for contract completion. Any chance that I will get the card before I leave?

You'll have to look for reports from others. Basically 'normal' is ~30-60 days, some do get it sooner. Hope you have someone who can receive it. If so, they can send it to you - for some countries sending an official doc may not be accepted by courier companies. Or you can return via USA, or apply for PRTD.
CAN we leave with PR CARD
You can leave with or without PR card. The question is - see above - how you return if you don't get the PR card before you leave.

Thanks! My address here is a family member's house so if I leave I can get it couriered to me in UAE, (if a 'card' can be couriered - will have to check).
