Thanks everyone for your answers! It's great to know the facts so my friend and I could stop thinking about it :)

I just realized I posted the question under the wrong section. My friend isn't moving to Canada from the U.S. but from South Korea. Not sure if this applies differently.

Thank you armoured. But will she be asked questions at the border such as 'how did you get your PR card if you weren't in Canada when the card arrived' when she returns to Canada by air? I remember seeing some discussions where the CIC agent says don't mail the PR card or have someone bring it...

I'm asking this question on behalf of a friend, who left Canada before receiving her first PR card. My friend managed to have her friend bring the card to her from Canada abroad, and is planning to arrive in Canada with that PR card. As far as I know, my friend should apply for a PRTD even...

Thank you armoured. That will very likely be my case. I can only be mentally prepared for it now.

Hi canuck78, do you mean I still face longer processing time even if I apply after I'm physically present I Canada for 730 days?

Thank you dpenabill. I think I understand the case now, after reading your comment and the materials that you guys provided.

yeah I'm reading the materials now.. hope I can find a formal definition of "business trip" there. Need days to understand the manual lol

Thank you! Very helpful material. I guess a business trip abroad for 10 days abroad will satisfy the definition of "assignment" here...? I'm still kinda confused but I think the key element would be - the business needs to be Canadian Business (then will have a Canadian head office).

I use Walmart and Starbucks as examples because my potential employer is also a US company who has offices in Canada. Just called IRCC the criteria here is, as you mentioned, the definition of "Canadian business". She said if the international company has a Canadian Business number then it would...

My work in Canada involves travel internationally, and I'm wondering can the days that I spent abroad count towards my residency obligation? I work full-time in Canada but part of my job is to travel abroad to meet with local clients (around 1 month per year). Here's the IRCC mentioned cases...
