I got my CoPR last Friday and the deadline for landing is 10th Feb 2023.

My plan is to land at Vancouver BC this summer, but will just stay for like a week, to apply for a PR card, reactivate my banking account etc.

I have the following questions:

1. Is this soft landing allowed? If the border officer asks me about my travel plan, I will not lie and honestly tell him I will stay for a week and go back home country for like 1-2 years, then I will settle in Canada permanently (such long time sounds not so good, but this is my ideal plan). Is this OK??? I really wonder.

2. I do not have any friends and relatives in BC, is there any way to get PR card overseas? I heard someone suggest giving Canadian PO box address to IRCC, where the PO box will re-send the card to overseas. Is this possible??

Many thanks, nice Sunday
