No longer the case. Travel authorization letter for PRTD was stopped mid Jan from what I saw in other forums. I have followed up asking for it multiple times too, was shot down each time !!

FYI, they are not issuing email Authorization since January. please refer the process to apply here : https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/processing-time-of-prtd-application-submitted-electronically-by-email-vac-closed-india.690791/post-9148443
It will not impact your PR card application. I know 1 person who received PRTD in India and then they issued PR card as well on Canadian address.
Rest assured, but in order to secure a PRTD please plan to travel for a longer duration. For now VFS India is not accepting passport request for the PRTD counterfoil.
Moreover, please ensure to get PR delivered to you in India by a close family member or friend.
I haven't come across any such cases, but my friend warned about it. The thread addresses many of my questions. As it was raised in thread, I was more worried about chip card detection at customs. It's a relief.
They is no GU or technical glitch for me. CoPR Jan 12.
Looks like you received a real update
You are right. As long as I have authorization or proof of a family relationship, it should be fine. Without that, its definitely a matter of contention at immigration if they find it. They might question why I am carrying someone else's travel document.
In your case you would want to take PR card for your dependent, so it is very safe because you can keep it with your PR card. The PR card has a chip is similar to a credit or debit card that you will carry while traveling.
I completely agree that sending via FedEx or other courier is very risky, on the contrary getting it delivered by some close family member is very safe.
Moreover, IRCC doesn't have any specific rule for this scenario.
FYI, PR card is not a travel document, it is PR status document.
In order to travel every PR holder needs a travel document such as Passport.
Yep, I should have put it in different words. PP is a travel document, however, for PRs, card is a mandatory document to enter Canada.

Exactly the same happened for me too... Anyone else got the same?? My photo received on last week of February 21...
Looks like real GU guys! All people have not received it. In case of a technical glitch it is observed by all.
This happened to me a lot during the PR application. The real GUs can be seen upon login. If you see an update after trying to open the application but failings, it's most likely a glitch.
I never got any GU during my PR process due to glitch ....but as you said many used to get glitch GU...I am so stressed with IRCC system that now a days I am not considering these GUs at all ..Just waiting for my PR card once I got I swear I will forget IRCC for 5 years...m
Does all Jan Copr holders who sent photo by Jan got their Card ?? Just to put an expections for Feb Coprs...
That is only possible, if you are not willing to apply for citizenship
