Apply for PR Card - first time under Inland Spousal

[karlos_macca]

All,
I just had my landing interview in Vancouver for inland spousal application and got my PR! Good news. But I left the interview now confused about the PR Card. I was told I need to apply for PR Card but when I go to: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5445ETOC.asp

..it says
"I am a new permanent resident. Do I need to apply for a PR Card?
If you are a new permanent resident, you will automatically receive your new card by mail when you first arrive in Canada. This is part of the immigration process and you do not need to apply for a PR Card."

So do I wait for the card, or do I still apply?

It will be send to you automatically. You don't need to apply.

Okay, thanks for the replies. Not sure what the officer meant by applying for the card then! Weird...
