Traveling to India after PR visa stamping

[spartan123]

Hi Guys,

I am in a bit of fix here. Before I ask questions let me just give you a quick rundown of my situation.

I am already in Canada and work full time here.
Post Grad Work Permit / Visa valid till - September 2015
CEC application - December 2013
Medicals requested - June 9 2014

I have to visit India during mid August 2014, as of now I am not sure if I have enough time for medical + pr visa stamping + landing + pr card arrival.

It would be a great help if someone can answer my following questions related to PR stamping

1. Will my work visa (W-1) be cancelled when I send my passport for PR visa stamping?

2. After PR visa stamping can I travel to India and then land as a Permanent resident when I return back to Canada via an international flight?

3. Will my status (worker) change if I get my PR visa stamped and then wait for landing?

4. On an average how long is PR visa valid?

Just curious, is PR visa stamped on another page and I will still have a valid W1 till I land as a permanent citizen? Trying to figure out what documents I might need when boarding return flight from India as they confirm if you have a valid visa or not before you board the airplane.

Quick question to people who have already landed:

- On landing do they cancel your existing visa (for example W1)?
