PR card obtaining Process after Landing

[saurabhmkj]

Hi Experts,

If I complete my landing and had to come back to India in next 10-20 days. Can I do that?
I have my friends in Canada who's address I can provide as local address where the PR card can be delivered and he can send it to me in India. Is there any risk or problem doing that?
OR
Is it mandatory to stay in canada till the time I receive the PR card after completing the landing formalities?

Not mandatory to stay in Canada.
You can apply for TRD when coming back in to Canada.
I wouldn't ship the PR CARD abroad, but that's just me. (there is always a risk with these mail delivery or cbsa)

Once you completed landing, that's means you are free you can re-enter Canada anytime you wish,
In addition, you either can tell your friend courier PR card to you or apply for PRTD from your home country.

Note, in order to maintain PR status, You must be physically present in Canada for at least 730 days (2 years) in every 5-year period.that's means you can spend a total of up to 3 years outside of Canada during a 5-year period.
