Permanent residents (PR) of Canada must carry and present their valid PR card or permanent resident travel document (PRTD) when boarding a flight to Canada, or travelling to Canada on any other commercial carrier. If you do not carry your PR card or PRTD, you may not be able to board your flight, train, bus or boat to Canada.
It is your responsibility to ensure that your PR card is still valid when you return from travel outside Canada, and to apply for a new PR card when your current card expires.

Hello,

Can you travel after you land at the border, but before you get your physical PR card?

Any links on this?
Yes, you can but to return to Canada, you may, depending on your visa-exempt status, need to apply for a Travel Document to come back to Canada. You may, depending on timing and visa-exempt status, also need to apply for an eTA.
