Iam also sailing in the same boat. i got PR recently and planning to do my landing formalities with my family in April 2013(deadline is may 2013 to complete my landing) . I currently on a work permit in Australia and need to return here after 3/ max 4 weeks. I have signed a work contract till sept 2013 as well as i paid a very huge amount here to undertake a examination , so if i wont return to austalia here i will lose exam fee as well as in breach of contract who sponsored me genuinely. so after sept 2013 iam thinking of moving permanently. It says 57 days to get PR card without including the public holidays. I dont want to put myself n family in trouble while returning permanently cos canada is our dream destination, i dnt know how reliable/ guaranteed is getting travel docs, if i tell them this truth will it affect my application? guys i suffered a lot just because i was a temp resident in many countries and many times we were relying on someone or other just for visa purpose, it just pissed me off to a extent that i developed a kind of aversion towards being temporary and never know when you will be kicked off.
I have a friend in calgary my last hope is to ask him to use his address for applying PR card and then return but not sure whether it is legal/ allowed, but if we get photo mismatch or other things , really dont know how to deal with it when you are outside canada.
