Without PR Card Entry?

[Malik]

One of my cousin need to leave Canada and he does not have a permanent resident card. Is it possible that he later return to Canada without a PR card?

He can get away with driving back into Canada without a PR Card (or coming back on a private plane or boat) but he will likely get a long lecture. He cannot take a commercial carrier (plane, train, bus, cruise ship) back into Canada without a PR card. They usually won't let him board.
