Hello,
Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.
You can find some helpful information in our Settlement.Org Do I really need a PR card to travel back to Canada? article.
Some of our users have stated that they have had friends or family who are residing at the Canadian address that they provided, forward their PR Cards on to them via a safe/secure method. Some have had it sent via courier or sent with a travelling family member.
However, it is important to note that if you are outside Canada and you would like your friend or family member to send it or bring it to you, it is important that you are aware of the risks of it being misplaced or possibly seized.
If you leave Canada without your PR card and need to return, you may need to apply for a Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) from a Canadian visa office abroad. It is also important to note that there is also the risk your application for a Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) application be denied.
We suggest that you may want to contact the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) Call Centre directly for some additional information.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.

Hello,
I just became PR through PNP in British Columbia. I'm going to travel in China and Japan for Christmas and New Years with my partner who is Canadian but has family in Japan. It's unlikely I will receive my PR card before we leave to travel. Can I get my PR Travel Document prior to my departure here in Vancouver, or can I only get it in abroad, in my case Tokyo? If so, I worry, cause I'm going to be there only for 7 days and that includes New Years, which in Japan is a big holiday, where a lot of places close down. How long does it take to get this document? Please help.
Thank you!
Warm Regards,
Denisa J
