Hi all
I got my COPR in Feb 2021 (through EE) and it expires in Feb 2022. I am currently in USA with H1B but visa stamp was expired.
I got married in March 2021 and got a baby in October 2021, in USA. My wife also applied for EE on her own before marriage, but her case is still in progress.
I contacted the ircc with webform about family status changes, but no response. I tried to call but they say they are prioritizing the Afghanistan issue and cannot take my call.

My questions are:
1: Can I enter Canada with my copr? I am planning to enter myself.
2: If not, what is the next step for my case?

Thank you in advance!

@AustinX You cannot enter Canada now as your family composition has changed and the current COPR will have to be cancelled. As you have already raised a webform, you can wait for IRCC to respond to you.

Also, if you are aware of your primary visa office, you can email them. All the best!

I found my CPOR and PR visa was issued at CPC-OTTAWA, so this is my primary visa office, correct?
