Hi So sorry for the tough situation you and your partner are in. I have some questions as I am currently waiting for my PR (can take a month or several months, hard to say, received Pre-arrival last month) to be approved, but I also need to go to the US where my spouse lives. Ideally I would go as soon as I get my PR, but from your post, it seems that I will have to wait until I actually get the PR card, which of course takes a lot of time. I had thought the moment I got the decision, I could leave. This could mean that I won't actually leave Canada to the US for 3-4 months.
What's even puzzling me more is that I have also recently applied to renew my work permit which expires on April 30. I will be on implied status starting next month meaning I can't leave the country until either 1) I get my new work permit, or 2) I get my PR.
But once I get the PR my WP will become invalid, right? So if my PR is approved but I don't receive the card, I will still be stuck in Canada?

Anyone, any suggestions would be helpful. I need to understand realistically how long I might have to stay in Canada.
If u do not have any commitment, like a job or something u may leave Canada and let someone receive ur card on ur behalf and then post it to u, u may then go back Canada…. Am an outland applicant and have done the same

The way you’ve written this is correct, yes.

In your situation, there is a loophole. You can travel by car to an US airport and then have a non-international flight and then come back by car. However, the car has to be a private vehicle: https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=065&top=10

Or, you can just drive all the way to your spouse :)

I would not lie to the IRCC saying that you are in land while you are not in land... they will ask you questions regarding your last point of entry and well, at this point in life, would you really lie to the IRCC ?

Thank you, I did some research on my end and found out what you said to be true. You can enter without the PR card if you are at a LAND border. Thank you and I hope you get your PR card soon!
