Say, for example, that i get PR on 1st January. Do i then have to land within a certain time? I'm trying to organise everything and if i know i have to land in Canada within 1 month or other time frame, it'll mean i can sort my timeline!
Time limit on taking up PR?

- Start date
You must activate your COPR document prior to the expiry date on the document. As soon as you do, you are free to [literally] turn around and leave Canada...and remain outside of Canada for up to 730 days without violating your Residency Obligation.
Many people do this and it's considered by most to be a `soft' landing. It's very common to enter and then return `home' to finish getting things in order.
The expiry date on the COPR is one year after the date of the medical exam.

Awesome, thank you both. Just all over the place with an 11 year old and moving all the crap belongings we've accumulated in our lives!
