I'm interested to know what happens after you get PR... what do I have to do when entering the country? Somebody told me I have to ask for a work permit until I get PR card?

What happens after, I hear first step is SIN? Sorry if I missed the info somewhere on the forum.

Once you pass through the airport you are a PR. Once you get your PR card you can enter and exit Canada freely.

The first thing you should do is get a SIN/Tax number so you can earn a salary and pay taxes. You get this from local offices present in some towns. You'll need to present your stamped passport as proof of status when doing this as it's usually a few weeks before you receive your PR card.

you can start working as soon as you have your SIN number. You will get your SIN upon presenting your approved COPR document after landing. Your COPR and your passport will serve you until you receive your PR card.

Until you get your PR card in the mail in Canada, I don't think you can leave and return freely, you need to apply for travel documents to do this.
