Hi,
Does anybody know how long it takes between receiving the letter to pick up my PR card and the appointment?

You are afraid of being reported, but yet you applied to get the PR card? Your case is H&C, so you should be applying for a PRTD from outside Canada. Once you have a PRTD, use it to enter Canada and you would have chances to get a PR card.

I am outside Canada and will be entering via USA land border.
The letter says that your PR card is generated however I will have to showcase all H&C documents and go through the interview. As i will be leaving behind my kids so I have to return in 2 days ..... the whole challenge is time... I have a time slot of just 2 days that i can spend in Canada for PR collection and then i have return to attend my kids.

So curious about the following:
1- If all goes good, will I be able to collect the PR the same day ?
2- If i do not showup; then will i be able to schedule the appointment with in 2-3 months (as PR will be destroyed after 180 days)

I doubt anyone can tell you for certain on either question. Yes, there is a possibility you will be given the card the same day, but not a guarantee. I have not seen any reports on how long it can take to reschedule an appointment.

You should know that I don't believe you are guaranteed to have no issues at the border, and that there is a high probability the officer interviewing you at the appointment will know about that entry (and whatever other notes an officer may put on your file).

Since they have gone to the trouble of schedulign an interview, they may find that (what seems to be) your lack of presence and settling in Canada, lack of ties and (evident) plan to depart again are not things that support a positive H&C determination. I've no idea what will actually happen though.
