You can, but you can't come back to Canada without the PR card.
Unless you request a travel document ( while outside Canada ) or you re-enter Canada at a land border
( using the CoPR ).

You mean the copr that i used for landing .

Yes, you can use the CoPR to re-enter Canada at a land border between the US-CAN.
You can't use the CoPR when you arrive in Canada by plane.

Yeah the officer that processed my landing told me the airlines don't accept it. He said it's really stupid, because We accept it at the border but the airlines don't. Yet they allow people that shouldn't be arriving in Canada to come, and they claim refugee status and the airline could get fined. Doesn't make any sense.

Come back ??

Coming back at a land crossing - YES
Coming back at an airport - NO

Yes, wait or apply for a travel document while you're outside Canada.
Seems to be a confusing issue, so I'll write up a short post and
publish it on my website.

But...you'll be in Canada when you land? Are you talking about then leaving again straight away?

You can always postpone the landing and do it when you arrive back in Canada from your trip?

Makes sense
So when I come back to the airport I should do the landing
That's also not a bad idea

Yes, that's another option, if you haven't completed the landing yet.

So till we receive the PR card, can we use the existing TRV ?

No, work permits and TRVs become invalid when you land as a permanent resident.
