Default Landing and leaving in a short time

Hi,
I have finally received my visa, so I am landing on next June. The
problem is that it will not be permanently this time because I am
still working, I need to finish some issues at home, and the time I
have to land is until 30th June (It´s all related to my medical exams,
and they expire for that time). I will be there for just 2 weeks, not
enough to get my PR card
The question is what I have to do to leave Canada after landing. I
will give CIC an address (a friend´s one) to send the PR Card, but I
don´t know if I have to declare something or tell the officer at the
entrance about this issue. Do I need any special permission for that?

Any information you can give me will be useful
Thanks,
G*

If your friend can fedex you the PR card when it gets to his address then you will have no problem coming back. I see no issue, since people have done it before.

The idea is that my friend will send me the PR card, but I don´t know
if I have to fill any form when I land, or when I leave after 2 weeks.
Do I have to tell anybody about this, or just leave and when I receive
my PR card by mail, I just come back with no problems.
Any other advice, please,
G*

When you land the officer will go over your documentation to confirm that all your informaton is correct. You will have to supply an address in Canada where your PR card will be send. You will not be asked if or when you are planing to leave the country so there is realy no point of you mentioning your travel details. You don't fill out any forms when you leave, not for canadian immigration.
On your way back with your PR card you will fill out a form (everybody fills out this form PR's, canadaian residents, visitors) indicating the date when you left Canada, the date you are coming back, any gifts, tobaco, alcohol and stuff that you got abroad. The few questions they ask are: Where are you coming from? Business or pleasure? Are you bringing more than $10,000 ? And that's it. People at immigration are usually very polite. They even say welcome home sometimes. :P
