I ripped up the CoPR!!! :'(

[Milo2980]

Guys,

I'm an idiot.

I received the Confirmation of Permanent Residence.
I opened the Canada Post thick envelop.
The documents were partially "glued" to the inner layer of the envelop because of its sticker juncture.

By tearing the envelope I ripped the CoPR!!!

The copy for the client is completely tore apart:

The Copy for the Officer is partially damaged:

You can tape it from the back, should be fine.

Oh gosh. I hope you're right my friend.

I dont think so. Send a mail to your VO. With the photos. See what they say.

Visa Officer. The mail id you have in your PPR(Letter) mail.

Visa Office. Try email CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca

Oh gosh, the automatic reply says their processing time for emails is 20 business days!

My flight is already paid and booked for December 15th, with return to Canada flight December 30th.

It's fine. CBSA can print a new COPR when you land.

thanks so much canuck, I can't say the relief felt when reading your reply.

Are you sure?
Even if they are technically equipped to print a copy, are they going to do that? Are they going to "accept" me / my landing with a ripped paper?

I'm particularly concerned because, in the Client Copy, exactly the whole corner with barcodes and numbers is totally ripped apart, like it doesn't belong to the rest of the paper anymore.

Thanks.

Why wouldn't they print it? It was a simple mistake and they are not going to deny your landing for it. People have lost their COPRs enroute and CBSA has printed them out so they can land.

Oh wow! I would never have imagined this!! Thanks so much for telling me this, it is comforting.

You allowed me to fall asleep tonight.
