Keep the COPR in a safe place forever. If lost, contact CIC.

its considered an important "id" in canada, my advice is to keep it - at least until you obtain your Canadian citizenship

Agreed. You need it to apply for citizenship. You can order a repalcement if you have lost yours (see the CIC web site).

They order another one (takes about 6 months) and you don't get an actual copy of the COPR just a letter saying one was issued. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/certcopy.asp
