it is very weird.. pr card is not a mandatory document..it is optional..cic never insist you to carry a pr card if you r not going out of Canada..card can be used for other identifications too..but it has nothing to do with your status..All that matters is your residency status..when one crosses the border with copr, he is a permanent resident..the procedure is complete..unless they find a serious criminal offence or fraud, cic will not cancel the pr after..changing job is the right of a resident..
Even we all thought like that. But after this incident we all changed our mind. We all are planning to stay with our employer until we get our PR card. Its really weird. But everything depends on that CIC officer's mood. Moreover he got PR under Employer Driven Scheme (AINP-PR). He visited many lawyers that time and they all said nothing the can do about this. And right now the rule changed...
Canada’s entry requirements are changing
Starting March 15, 2016, if you are a permanent resident of Canada and a citizen of a visa-exempt country, you will need to travel with your Canadian permanent resident (PR) card or PR travel document when flying to Canada. Otherwise, you may not be able to board your flight to Canada. PRs who are citizens of visa-required countries will continue to need to show their PR card when boarding a flight to Canada.
