PR card in the mail

Hey folks has anyone of you mailed your pr card to your home country so you can re-enter to Canada? I have a home trip coming soon, and I don't have my PR card yet. I'm looking into all my possibilities

It's certainly possible. IRCC won't mail the card outside of Canada but you can certainly have a friend / family member do it.

Lots of people do it. Sometimes issues come up with courier companies not wanting to take them, them getting held up in customs, etc. But there's technically nothign wrong it at least on Canadian side. (Possibly could be a problem in other countries but I'm not aware of any specific laws)

My understanding is the cards have RFID chips and so it can get detected eg at customs in some instances.
