1No, you go to a land border, go to the US side, get an administrative refusal, return to the Canadian side and "land" it is called flagpoling.

Thank you PMM.
I have one more question that once we get a PR status can we travel outside canada before we get our PR card....Is there any such option? Thank you in advance...

Yeah, you can travel without PR card but need to apply to a outside of Canada CIC office for a PR travel document what allows you to entry Canada one time.

If you're returning in a private car from US looks like isn't necessary.

Additionally:

If you're from a country which don't need visa you need to apply for:

If you need Visa have to be valid.
