Urgent help needed: is PR Card needed to re-enter Canada?

I keep getting conflicting information on this subject. Please help, as I'm moving to Canada before 15th of March to land.

Situation: I will "land" in Toronto, and give a friend's mailing address for the PR card to be sent to. I will then return to the US within 7 days on my valid H1 with a letter from the company saying that I will continue in their employment until May 15th this year when my H1 expires.

Question: Will I be able to re-enter Canada in May without any problems even though I wouldn't yet have received the PR card? What documentation will I show to prove my immigrant status?

thanks,

Capitalist
 
Hi Capitalist72,

Your Landing Papers will not be valid for travel once you
complete the "Landing Process".

You will need your PR Card to re-enter canada.

Hope this info is clear.

All the best.

I have seen those people who are landing by AIr are getting their PR cards within 2-3 weeks. My cousin wife got her's in 2 weeks. I have seen in this forum that those people who landed via border post got their PR cards in 8 weeks.

Can someone else followed this trend....

My Moms PR Card arrived today.

She landed on 12th Feb, 2003 by Air (and not from USA).

So it took less than 1 month.
 
congratulation Mercury6. Lets see when your brother will get his PR card. Then it will prove one way or the other.
 
Received Brother PR Card today. He landed on 15th Feb. So it is less than 1 month for him too...and he landed at the rainbow bridge.
