hello,
i am still waiting for my renewed PR card to arrive, but i need to return to Canada as soon as possible.
I only have a passport (visa-exempt country, i'm not qualified to apply for ETA since i am PR), and a record of landing paper.
Will airline let me board on a flight back to canada with a record of landing paper? isn't it a sufficient proof of permanent residency when your card is being renewed?
please answer me! thanks!

Hello,
Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.
We can appreciate that you would be concerned about this situation.
You can find some information on the CIC website in the I am outside of Canada and do not have a PR card. How can I return to Canada? and the I need to leave Canada and I do not have a permanent resident card. Can I later return to Canada without a PR card? section.
Here is an excerpt,
"I am outside of Canada and do not have a PR card. How can I return to Canada?
Canada’s entry requirements are changing
Permanent residents (PR) of Canada must carry and present their valid PR card or permanent resident travel document (PRTD) when boarding a flight to Canada, or travelling to Canada on any other commercial carrier. If you do not carry your PR card or PRTD, you may not be able to board your flight, train, bus or boat to Canada.
It is your responsibility to ensure that your PR card is still valid when you return from travel outside Canada, and to apply for a new PR card when your current card expires.
Returning by private vehicle
There are other documents you can use to enter the country.
When you return to Canada, apply for a PR card if you plan to travel outside Canada again.
Some examples of private vehicles include, but are not limited to: a car, truck, motorcycle, or recreational vehicle that you own, borrow, or rent, and that is not available for public use.
Returning by commercial vehicle: airplane, bus, train, or boat
You must apply for a permanent resident travel document (PRTD), valid for one entry. Otherwise you may not be able to travel to Canada.
You can apply to replace your PR card when you return to Canada."
It is best if you contact the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) Call Centre directly for some 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.
