COPR but wife must care for very sick mother

Then that would change things (unless you also accompany her). The Conditional PR requires that she continue to live with your for 2 years after the day that she lands. If she leaves for several months without you, that could be a problem.

OK that makes sense. I understand the reasons for the condition and why one shouldn't stretch a separation too long even for legitimate reasons. It wouldn't be more than a few months at worst so we'll arrange things if it could become questionable. We will still hope for COPR as soon as possible, but in our case a delay of 3 or 4 months wouldn't be so bad.

Hello,
I think you can never send her the PR when it arrives and she has some thing like up to a year to permanently reside in Canada.

This is all completely wrong.

You can indeed send someone's PR card to them in another country, and there is no such rule about waiting up to a year to reside.
