Travelling before the PR card arrives

Hi all,
after being accepted as a permanent resident, I'll move to Canada by the end of August.
Luckily I don't have to find a job as I will be working for my current employer.
My job is to carry out installations and repairs of highly specialized machines worldwide.
Obviously this is not an office job, so my employer doesn't really care where I live.
Now I have read that leaving Canada before the PR card is issued might be a problem. Well actually re-entering the country is the problem.
As I usually need to leave on a rather short notice, sometimes even the next day, I can't possibly apply for travel documents beforehand.
Is there a solution to this problem? I'm pretty sure my employer wouldn't be very happy if I told him that I can't do my work for roughly 2 months (processing time plus the time it takes to find a home).
I was wondering if I can simply re-enter Canada without a travel document since I don't need a visa anyway (I am a German citizen).
Or is it possible to speed up the processing time for the PR card?
I'm not asking for a special treatment here, but not being able to travel for such a long time is a huge problem for me.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Hi, my mom is currently a permanent resident in Canada. Her PR card expired last month, we renewed it, but due some misunderstanding of our address, the card was sent back to the office and we were told it might take 6 weeks for it to arrive. But the thing is, my mom booked a flight to Turkey in just less than a month. Will she be able to leave Canada without her PR card? Btw, she will be switching airplanes in Montreal and Munich. Will there be any problems?

Hi,
that's no problem unless you stay away for too long. As a permanent resident, you need to be in Canada for two years in each five-year period.

Hi,
I'm a permanent resident in Canada and I'm a citizen of a visa exempt country. My PR card expired recently, so I renewed it a few months ago, but it still hasn't arrived. I'm leaving Canada to Thailand very soon and I know that I would need to have a travel document to come back. However, I wont be in Thailand long enough to wait for the travel document to arrive in time. So I plan to take all my documents with me including my landing document and my expired PR card. Do you think I will have problem coming back from Thailand? Please help!
