COPR - Can I work for anyone now?

[crabbit]

I just got my COPR! I guess I'm asking because I can't quite believe it yet, but someone has already approached me to see if I can take on some freelance work. I was on a closed work permit and only allowed to work for my employer. I just mailed off my COPR and photos in order to get my PR card today, and applied for a permanent SIN number a couple of days ago. Can I work for anyone now or do I need to wait until I get my PR card and permanent SIN number?

Did you get virtual landing? That will allow you to work for anyone. Just a COPR will not.
