My plan is to land in month of September-2016, because Nov-2016 is the expiry date of visa to land in CANADA as a PR.

My wife and dependent would like to turn back(in a week) after first landing in CANADA.
Because Sep-Mar are chilled winters in Saskatchewan. They cannot withstand these temperatures.

So, They would not be staying until PR card is mailed to given CANADIAN address.

I(primary applicant) would be staying in CANADA and receiving the PR card of me and my family.
Staying in CANADA, I will mail corresponding PR cards to my family, before they re-enter CANADA.

Is my partner and dependent breaking any PR obligations?
 
In the first 5 years of PR you only have to show that you could still fulfill the residency requirement of two years in the first five years. So technically they could stay out of the country for a full three years and could still return (but would then have to stay for two years straight).

I'm not sure though how your spouse and dependent plan to live in Canada permanently if they can't stand the winter. After all, it is an annual event :-)

That is OK bro. You have to consider that each PR holder should spend at least 4 years out of 6 in Canada to be eligible to apply for citizenship.
What is your latest application status update?
 
You are not breaking any rules by mailing them the PR cards. If they can spend 6 months a year in SK which they can do during the summer, they can meet the residency obligation to keep their PR and they would also have SK health care. However, if you have school age kids, it would be hard to spend 6 months a year because it messes with their schooling. So basically, if your family is not willing to move because they are afraid of the cold, I don't see much future in immigrating for you. You will be separated from your family and they will eventually lose their own PR.
