Thanks. Also when I arrive at airport - do I need to land during a weekday so that I can apply for my PR card delivery at airport itself ? I was told by a friend that it could be only done on a weekday and that to between 9am to 5pm then the officers who take PR card request leave from duty. Is that so?

Maybe your friend is thinking of a SIN? SINs are issued by Service Canada, which is usually only open on weekdays during working hours. There is a booth directly in the airport in Toronto that you'll be directed to if you land during their business hours. I landed in Toronto on a Saturday, which is not a working day for them, so I had to wait until Monday and go to the local Service Canada where I was staying to apply for my SIN. AFAIK Toronto is the only airport that has a Service Canada inside of it., though.
You can land at any time on any day. You do not need to apply for a PR card yourself unless you are unable to provide IRCC with an address within 6 months of landing. The process is started on your behalf by the officer who signs your CoPR.
