Hi all

I have applied for my PR a year back and got my visa today. The validity of the visa is till Oct. I am planning to visit toronto before october for a short time and get back to india

What is the procedure to apply for PR CARD?
Can i visit canada and get back in 5 days with out PR cards? Can i apply for PR card by giving my consultants address and get the PR card through him either through courier or through someone who is travelling back to india?
I will not be able to stay for more than 5 days as my company will not grant me leave more than that

Request your suggestion guys
 
When you land in Canada with your PR visa, you will be asked for an address. You can give any Canadian address pretty much and they will send your PR card there. If you have talked to your consultant about the possibility of using their address, that should be fine. They will get your PR card in the mail and can mail it to you.

The OP should note the following:

Phase I cards

CPC-S will continue to mail the PR Cards to the Canadian address provided by the new PR upon arrival, according to the process currently in place. However, where there are clear indications that the initial entry into Canada was only of short duration and the client provided a third party address for the purpose of forwarding their initial PR Card outside of Canada, these cases should be flagged with a Non-Computer Based Entry (NCB) 22 indicating that the client is outside Canada, and if relevant, the fact that the photo retake was done outside Canada and submitted to produce the first PR Card along with the date this information is recorded.

Phase II cards

When applications indicate the mailing address of a third party, with a Use of Representative (IMM 5476) form on file, CPC-S will update the Field Operations Support System and the CPC system with only the residential address of the applicant. The mailing address of the third party will be recorded in an NCB 23 as the third party address “Authorized to disclose”. The PR Card will be mailed to the client at the residential address provided.

If the application received indicates both the residential and mailing address of a third party with an IMM 5476 form on file, a letter (Appendix A) will be addressed to the applicant and sent to the mailing address of the third party provided on the application. The letter will inform the applicant that CIC does not mail PR Cards to third party addresses, and that the PR Card will be mailed to the residential address once it has been provided by the client. As PR Cards are not mailed to P.O. boxes, clients who indicate a P.O. box instead of a mailing address will have to provide justification as to the reason they do not have an acceptable mailing address.
