COPR and COPR VISA

[highend]

Permanent resident (PR) is when you're already in Canada and you have your PR Card.
COPR 'Confirmation of Permanent resident' is when you application for PR has been approved. You have ONLY your VISA and you have not yet enter Canada.
A COPR is not a PR. You're not a Permanent Resident of Canada yet.
For the validity, i don't know.
Hope this help.

Sorry Please read my message correctly. I am trying to figure out the difference between COPR and "PR VISA". I understand PR visa is not PR.
All, I still have the below query - please help me understand
I am trying to understand the difference between Permanent residence visa and COPR, I am currently in theUS and waiting for pr-visa stamped on my passportt, what would be the validity for pr visa for Indian citizenss. What would be the next step after getting this stamped, will they mail me the COPR or I get it once I go to CA. Please advice.

If you're passport holder of a country whose nationals require visa to enter Canada then you'll be issued a single entry PR visa to enter Canada. It's validity is usually the year after the date you took your medicals. You will receive your CoPR along with PR visa.
