Will you be outside US when you apply (not EE profile creation, actual PR application)?. If so your PCC should be ISSUED after you leave the US. If you are leaving US permanently or for long duration, do the following.
Get fingerprinting done in your last week. Get multiple copies to be on the safer side. Submit the eDO application online on your last day and then drop the fingerprints into mail just before you leave. Make sure your enter your foreign address in the eDO application, so that the paper report will be sent there. Electronic copy is sufficient for CIC purposes anyway.
