I hava an Indian passport with a valid US work visa, a valid Canadian PR card.

I am traveling to Delhi from Chicago via Toronto. My understanding is that I will require to apply for a transit visa for Canada in order to take my flight from Toronto to Chicago. My first question is that do I need to have a transit visa while I possess a Canadian PR card?

I visited Canada earlier in April to complete all PR requirements and returned to USA after a week to finish my projects. The PR card was shipped to me to USA by one of my uncles.

Citizens and permanent residents of Canada don't need a visa to enter Canada. Now that you are a permanent resident, you have a guaranteed right to enter Canada without a visa (as well as live and work in Canada). The PR card serves as evidence of this right. Show it in addition to your passport when you check in for your flight.
