No, as long as you have the signed COPR copy and the CBSA officer has inserted the COPR number & signed under the immigration stamp in your passport, you should be able to get the SIN on Monday.

PS. Make sure you get that number and signature in your passport...
Will do.. thank you very much for your response :)

You need one of these methods to return to Canada, in order of preference.

1) PR card
2) PRTD
3) USA land border.

If you can get a friend or family member to courier or carry your PR card to you, that would be best. Do NOT send by Canada Post.
You can apply for a PRTD at any time while you are outside Canada. PRTDs usually have a short expiry time.

Ok May I know for how long PRTD are valid. Also is it illegal to be couriered or friend carrying it?
Finally if I land and while pr card processing is in progress and I come back. Can I apply for PRTD straight away or I need to wait for my friend to receive my or card and then I apply for PRTD

PRTD validity is up to the visa office that issues it. Probably about 4 months.
PR card can be legally couriered or carried. Don't let anyone tell you differently.
As I said before, "You can apply for a PRTD at any time while you are outside Canada."

Thank u so much. One final question.
In prtd form I see they are asking about marital status. Suppose I do landing, apply fo pr card, go back to my country and get married and apply for PRTD after marriage. Will spouse factor be added on my EE file thru which I did landing . I mean will they ask for things like proof of marriage or her PCC and meds

If you marry after landing, a) you must sponsor your new spouse and b) you must be living physically in Canada to do so.
It will not be relevant to your PRTD application if you are married or not when you apply for it.

Dear all,

I am planning to do soft landing in Toronto next month. I do not have a Canadian address. To have the PR card mailed to me, will it be OK if I give the address of the hotel I will be staying at? Can I give the address of a third party like a friend or a lawyer?

Comments appreciated.

Thanks,

Probably not a good idea to provide a non-residential address. IRCC may choose not to send the card. Use a private address.

Thank you for your reply. I am thinking about renting a UPS mailbox. Will that count as a residential address? Acording to UPS, the address will look like this: "Your Name, Suite #, 3450 RUE ST DENIS, MONTREAL QC H2X 3L3."

Also, once I leave Canada after softlanding, can i have a third party mail me the card to a non-Canadian address?
