Do we have to go to Canada after PNP?

yes I know I'm asking a silly question but I want to ask; even if I get a pnp invite, can't I wait until I find a suitable job? Do I have to go suddenly?

You have to "land" as a Permanent Resident prior to your Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) expiring. You can leave after you do the paperwork, but:

1) you must still meet the residency requirements (ie, live in Canada for 2 out of every 5 years)

and

2) it is very difficult to be hired while out of Canada in most cases.
