Do I still need to go through immigration at the airport if I'm a PR?

[Quelaag]

I'm already in Canada (inland application) and got my COPR a week ago. I'm waiting now for my PR card to arrive. When I travel outside of Canada and back in a few months, do I still have to go through immigration if I don't hold a Canadian passport? Or do I just show them my foreign passport + PR card? Thanks!

Everyone still goes through immigration - even Canadians.

You get to go to the "Canadian Citizen and PR" lineup and show your PR card and foreign passport.

Obviously...you have too

Everyone has to go through immigration at airports all over the world regardless of whether they hold residency or citizenship in that country. So in short - yes, you absolutely do.

I messed up my question. Last time I saw there were two kiosks and two lines at the airport - one for citizens and I guess also permanent residents? and one for foreigners. That's what i meant, haha.

Yes, it's citizens and permanent residents in the same line.
