Traveling while my application processes

I just submitted my PR application, and I have plane tickets to the US to visit my family for Christmas and New Years. If my application status changes (Either gets accepted or rejected) while I am out of the country, will I have trouble getting back into Canada? The current estimated processing time said 41 days, so if that's accurate, I will probably be in the States at that time.

PR application usually takes 6 months to complete. What you have seen online is PR card, which you get after you land (mailed to your home)

Yes you can travel while its in process, even if you get an acceptance you can always come back anytime (I am assuming you have a valid status)

Good luck!

yes. I think if you have valid status in Canada and you can come back into Canada with valid re-entry visa.
then you can travel. it will not affect your process.
