Many faced the same issue before. When they contacted CIC, some were told its fine but it could be seized if found by customs, and some were told its illegal for a third party to carry someone elses pr card outside the country and that the person should instead apply for a PRTD to come back to Canada. Same sort of confusion came when asking couriers, DHL said they can ship your PR card, fedex said we can only take it to the canadian embassy in that country, and again with both it can be seized by customs.
Why not just leave it for now instead of opening this can of worms and apply instead for PRTD from abu dhabi when you decide to go back to canada?

Hello - we did our landing in last week of July. At the airport, immigration officer said there is no need to fill up PR application form. It is sent directly to mailing address.

Can someone confirm if that is correct? Also will they mail the card to a US address?

They only mail pr cards inside Canada as far as I know.
In your online file, did you provide them with a Canadian address? If yes, then thats the address they are sending your card on. If it happens to be different than where you want it sent, you should update it online. Good luck

It has to be a mailing address in Canada

You don't fill the form, but they ask you for a Canadian address. Were you not asked by the officer to provide a Canadian address?

Officer said US address should be fine. So we didn't provide any Canadian address.

So did anyone mail the card outside of Canada ? Did it reach?
