I and my wife got our COPR about 2 weeks ago. I landed at the North Portal on 04/08/2013 since I am already in Canada.
My wife arrived from my home country yesterday at Calgary airport. She went through immigration, but her COPR was not signed neither was
was the PR visa crossed. This to me look odd as one copy of the COPR is clearly written "CIC copy".

Anyone with similar experience? What do we need to do to guarantee her PR card?

It sounds as though she didn't actually "land". Did she specially tell the CBSA agent that she was doing so?

She told them. She even showed them the COPR.

As someone entering Canada for the 1st time, one would expect CBSA to apply due diligence before letting her in.
I am still confused!

If I read your post correctly, your spouse still has both copies of her COPR. If that is true that she did not "land" when she arrived at Calgary Airport. If that is true, then she has to go back to the Airport or to any Port of Entry and have it corrected. If she only has one copy of her COPR then she is good to go.
