What's your timeline with your PR and your marriage? If you were married prior to landing, was your spouse a non-accompanying member on your own PR application?

I don't know the answer to your original question but had to ask about the timing of your marriage and PR because many err by marrying before landing and not declaring their spouse and essentially ruining their chances to ever sponsor their spouses in the future.

Congrats on your PR. I'll be watching for the answer to your question. This is a very helpful community here.

I just had a talk with immigration consultant and he said landing paper is enough to sponsor because it’s a real document to prove that I am a resident and pr card is a travel document

If you were Single OR Divorced when you got PR and married after you got PR.....you should be okay to sponsor your spouse for PR.

Please refer.....Who can apply to sponsor spouses, partners or children and Who You Can Sponsor........on govt IRCC site.
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/family-sponsorship/spouse-partner-children/eligibility.html

Your PR landing paper is enough proof that you are a PR in Canada.

However, will advise that you apply for the PR card immediately.

Please refer.....govt IRCC site for Permanent Residency Card processing times.

If you are a new permanent resident, IRCC should mail you the PR card once you landed in Canada and provided IRCC your mailing address.

Don't think you do not need to apply for a PR card if you are a newly landed permanent resident.

If you have not received your PR card within 2 months of landing as a PR, why not call IRCC 1 888-242-2100.

For information of how to apply for PR Card......please refer...
