Landing issue

Hi,
My wife and kids have until May 9th to land in Canada.
I already landed a month ago and am living here.

We would like our kids to finish out the school year at home in Ireland so the plan is for them to fly to Edmonton on the 8th of May go through the landing process and fly back home after 1 week.

Then the plan is to fly back one way permanently to Edmonton at the end of July to begin our life here.
I am wondering if this is possibly as I am pretty sure the PR cards won't have arrived by then.

Any help is appreciated.

They will need travel documents to return to Canada. Their PR cards most likely won't be ready by then.

no, literally, "permanent resident travel document" -

they also seem to take a long time to process (of course!) so suggest they apply as soon as they return to Ireland...

I think you can travel with the landing paper though. Not sure, just a guess.

once you land they will have cic to email your card, which is currently 6 weeks wait time.So if you are flying back to ireland after your return make sure you get your card delivered to your place in ireland because without a card you wont be able to clear immigration at airport, since your visa is only 1 time entry which you used for landing.Other option is if you can fly into usa and travel by road to canada with you landing proof need not require pr card.

Why thru air is different than thru land?

Well, it just says that you need a PR Card or Permanent Resident Travel Document. Not that you can use the landing paper to enter the country thru land.
