You need to land in Canada before your COPR (permanent residence visa) expires. Once you land and finish all your paperwork, you are obliged to live in Canada at least 2 out of 5 years to keep your PR status. A lot of people do a soft landing and settle down later. As long as you meet the obligation, you won't have any issues.

You won't become a PR if you don't land by the expiry date on the visa and will need to start the EE process all over again. Simple.
