Got CoPR, can't prove legal status in Canada.

[NickDimou]

Good day All. I seek for assistance to this important issue. Please help.

(1) I have received my CoPR (through Express Entry) through mail BUT I think I cannot prove my legal status in Canada for the last 12 months.
(2) Also, I am wondering which is the best way to validate my PR (airport, land, appointment with CIC)?

Details:
I live in Ontario from 2014 but my last work permit ended late 2016. From late 2016 I wasn't aware that I had to extend somehow my stay (I messed up). Also, I am not working from late 2016 until today. I have a valid passport, and a valid Ontario ID card.

How can I prove my legal status in Canada when the IRCC officer will interview me, while entering Canada?

Thank you
