If you land in Canada and you don't stay long enough to get your PR card, you can obtain a 'Travel Document - Permanent Resident Abroad.' This will allow you to return to Canada, where you can request your PR card.

Also, if your wife stays in Canada, she can receive your PR card for you and give it to you later.
