My husband landed a few weeks back. We want to go on vacation over xmas, but he still hasn't rec'd his PR card. He has a passport from a visa-exempt country. Can he re-enter Canada with this passport and no PR card? Will this create problems? I'm just trying to see if this is possible, otherwise I wouldn't risk it.

I am pretty much sure that you can't leave the country until you have your PR card back, even if it is from a visa-exempt country
can anyone else confirm that?

Yes, you can leave and enter on your landing documents. If you are not visa exempt, you can also leave but need a PR travel document to return.

I'm absolutely positive this is incorrect.

do you not technically leave Canada when you land from an inland application? and do not have a pr card?

Regardless of whether you are inland or outland - it takes several week (often a couple of months) to receive the PR card after you land. Also, for both inland and outland - you can "land" by leaving the country and re-entering. Or you can chose to land through a visa office in Canada (without leaving the country) by booking a landing appointment.

Definitely wrong. If you are visa exempt you can re-enter with your landing documents, if you haven't received your PR card yet.

we left without our PR cards after a month from landing and evrything was fine. when it came in the mail my cousin in Canada sent it to us. my mom reentered in Sept with it and no problem. even w/o PR card u can enter with a travel doc frm the embassy :)
