After landing in Canada and becoming a PR can I leave without the PR card?

Hi forum friends,

I have now established that when I make an investigative field trip holiday to Canada I will actually 'land' as an immigrant and become a Permanent Resident as I will have my visa by then. However as I will be coming back to the UK after this holiday I will give the postal address (for the PR card) of a friend, this friend will then forward my PR card to me in the UK. Am I able to leave Canada without the PR card, will the passport control question me on the way out of Canada? Then assuming I receive it in the post in the UK from my friend later I will return to Canada permanently with it later.

Many thanks in advance,
ukbeanie.

There is no passport control on the way out of Canada. The airline is reponsible for you having a passport to board the plane but they will not ask you for PR card. There should not be any problems.

I did the same in 2006. I had a friend mail the card to US. I guess it's ok.

You need PR Card to re enter Canada.Once you get your PR card at ur address in Vancouver some one can post it to your Indian address and you are good after you receive your card to fly back to canada.
