Well you have "landed" right - so no need to exit. LICs in-country traditionally "land" and get PR via a final interview/appointment at an immigration office where usually there they are granted PR. So if you said you landed, well you have activated your PR status. By this reason, there is no need for issuance of a visa. All you have to do is wait for your PR card. Is this what you have done?

Those who "exit" to activate their PR status leave via land border crossings between the US and Canada (or sometimes others fly out on vacation), then return back, and present their CoPRs and immigrant visas at the PoE. Then their PR status is activated.

If you have landed - congratulations on getting PR.

yes i had my final interview and from there the officer asked me to wait for my PR card (for 8weeks)..
and if i got my PR card, i can just leave the country and come back without any visa?

Then you have landed - so wait for the PR card and when you have it, you can leave and re-enter the country without a visa.

Again congratulations on getting PR and just wait for a bit for the PR card to be delivered.

All the best.
