CanadaPermanent Resident1My wife and I landed at Toronto on June 29th, 2023. Our COPR expires on July 13th. The overall immigration process was pretty smooth and the officer told us that PR cards will be delivered at the address in 3-4 months.

the visa printed on your passport is a one-time entry visa.. once you land in Canada, it is no longer valid. You'll use your PR card to enter the country from now onwards!
if you leave the country before you get the PR card, In that case, you'll need to get PRTD(PR traveling Document). In other words, a new single entry visa!
