Guys, I am still waiting on my PPR to come, but I have a question:

after landing, for someone to be able to travel internationally, is the pr card required or can one use a proof of landing?

no you cannot use proof of landing it is not valid for travel.

you can get a pr travel document from the country which you visit in order to reenter canada.

To get your SIN all you will need is your Passport, COPR and your old SIN. To get your health card you need the application form and three sets of documents: Picture ID, Proof of address and COPR. Hope this helps.

You can only travel to the US. That too you will have to enter via car and then once in you can fly wherever. On your way back you will again have to enter Canada via car.

oh i see... may be hhh is right as i am not sure about that.

if you cannot travel then better to take a flight to nearest city in usa if you have usa visitor visa. or else visit home country.
