Not all couriers will accept to ship your card (its a state property). Those that accept, also run the risk that CBSA can seize your card if found in the shipment. Up to you, you can give it a try if you want.
Other option would be applying for PRTD to come back to canada.
Good luck

2- as long as you show them arrangements/flight to last destination. You are not allowed to land in montreal unless you are quebec immigrant. If you show them what i mentioned, they will do initial steps and instruct you to finish them at your destination.
3- that wont be a good idea, because of what I mentioned in (2). You can always ask the immigration officer while doing your landing if its ok or not. I would say have an address out of quebec just in case.
