Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR)

The Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) is a crucial document issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to individuals who have been approved for permanent residence in Canada. It serves as official proof of your status as a permanent resident before you receive your permanent resident card. You will typically need to present your COPR when you land in Canada as a new immigrant.

Receiving your COPR signifies that IRCC has finalized the assessment of your application and determined that you meet all the eligibility requirements for permanent residence under the program you applied through. It is essential to keep your COPR in a safe place, as it contains vital information and is a key document for your initial settlement in Canada. Without a valid COPR, you may not be able to complete your immigration process upon arrival.
