What is copr?
Confirmation of permanent residence. In the old days these were called landing papers. Comes after the passport request (returned with passport usually).

All get them, it's a sheet of paper (two copies?) presented to border officers on arrival; those from visa-required countries will get a one-time visa as well.

So once ppr and you get passport back, you wait for an emailed copy of COPR? This she takes to Canada with us?

If from a visa-required country, would get the passport with visa inserted and the COPR with it. Yes, must be taken to Canada. Once stamped at border, applicant is now a PR (and in some circumstances in Canada will be accepted as proof of PR status, at least until PR card received).

You send the passport when you get the passport request. You get the passport back with visa and hard copy of COPR (two copies I think).

Some may get copr by email if no visa needed, don't know.

I got an email saying "This email is to notify you that a new permanent residence confirmation case has been created under your IRCC Permanent Residence Portal account. " Does that mean my PR has been approved?

Hello guys, my spouse just got his COPR. Does he need a transit visa to travel through USA or Europe with a COPR? He's travelling from Ghana and holds a Ghanaian passport.

That's really a question for the airlines in combination with what countries you travel through and their transit procedures.

As far as I'm aware all of the major EU (and most of Europe) airports let travellers stay in the international zone and so you won't need visas (as long as the transfer is less than a certain number of hours, like 24 hours or departing same day). Now that means you can't leave the airport (or international zone within) but to transit through it's pretty easy.

The reputable airlines like Air France KLM Lufthansa group etc all know how this works. I don't know about UK but probably similar as well. No idea about USA.
