I just got DM on ECAS so I'm hoping to get my passport request and COPR within a month or two....but I have a question regarding this...so when I land in Canada and move in with my spouse at the border and use my COPR that's great... but I work across the border in the US and commute daily between the USA and Canada for work, how would I travel? I know it takes some time for the actual PR card to come in the mail after I land and apply for it. Would my COPR and Passport from the USA work until I get my PR card? I suspect since I'm a visa-exempt country this is fine...but thought I'd ask.

Thanks!

Provided you are travelling in a private vehicle, yes, your COPR and US passport are sufficient.

Thank you, that's all I needed. Yes, personal vehicle via land - not air. Cheers!
