My wife and her dependant son will enter Canada as PRs, however her son will return to China to finish his college program.
After he enters Canada for the first time does he have to stay until he gets his PR card before leaving, or can he leave after a week and later we can bring the card to him when we visit China again in a few months?

He can leave again straight away, however, the card may only be sent to a Canadian address, so yes, you will have to bring him the card or mail it to him after receiving it.

He should make sure, however, that he does return and remain in Canada for a minimum of 730 days in the first 5 years after landing. This means that he has to come back within 3 years.
