No benefits and is not required at all to link the PR card, they never ask you to do so. My wife’s arrived after 50 days in total from landing, we never linked it...was a nice surprise when it arrived in the mail given they quote it will take 62 days!What are the benefits of linking your PR card to your CIC account? I am currently waiting for mine to arrive. I thought it would arrive "automatically" after the landing interview. Is there yet another application to go through to receive the card?
