Can I use "status verification" instead of COPR?

[Eitan-ro]

Hi,
When we became a PR, we went to the office in Etobicoke for an interview to get our PR, after we finished the interview, we have received the Confirmation Of Permanent Residence document (COPR, IMM 5688), after a few months I've noticed that the original entry date was wrong, so I've sent a letter requesting this date to be amended (the letter was sent via mail and it had the original COPR documents), and the request was approved.
When I received the approval for the date change by mail, that letter included a "status verification" document (IMM 5716), but the original COPR document wasn't included in that letter.

My question is - can I use the "status verification" document instead of the COPR when applying for citizenship or do I need to have the COPR for that?

You don't need CoPR to apply for citizenship

 

[Eitan-ro]

Yes, but I will need to show it at point, don't I?

 

[Eitan-ro]

anyone please?

A Verification of status document can and will replace your COPR for anything you'd need the COPR for.

Also, It's not part of the application package, but yup, there's a chance IRCC asks you to have it with you on the interview or oath stage.

That is great news.
Is written somewhere? I haven't seen that it is mentioned anywhere

Where does it say you need a CoPR for anything after landing is completed?

Hey how long did it take for you too receive the amended document

I don't remember precisely, but it was fairly quick.
Something like 2 months or so (pre-covid)
