Hello,
I got the golden email last week and my application status has been updated that your application is approved. And I think i will get my copr anytime this week
My question is, I have a holiday plan to Hawaii and sure that I cant have my pr card when i come back to Canada after my holiday. Can it be problem that I enter Canada without PR card ?

If you don't complete your landing before your holiday, you can fly to Hawaii with your CoPR and land as PR upon return, which is what I'd suggest you do.

If you complete your landing before your holiday, you won't be able to board a flight back to Canada without a PR card. I guess applying for PRTD might not be an option for you either. You only option would be to fly back to somewhere near the US/Canadian border and drive across in a private vehicle

I am temporary work permit holder, my work permit is vaild until mar 2019, and i am from visa expemt country.
Well as ContactFront suggested, you can complete your landing as PR when you return from Hawaii. As long as you do not complete your PR landing process, you can return without any issue by entering on your temporary visa or landing as a PR.

If you complete your landing before your holidays and don't get the PR Card, you can fly to any city in US closer to the US-Canada border and can enter through the land border using your COPR.
