Oath of Citizenship - COPR requirement

I just received a notice to appear - to take the oath of citizenship. I am required to bring "All your original documents that support your citizenship application - Confirmation of Permanent Residence (IMM 5292) and Permanent Resident Card. (If you have a landing document and a Permanent Resident Card, you must bring both of them."

I cannot find my COPR (IMM 5292) but I do have a scanned copy and I also have my PR Card. Has anyone had any experience appearing to the oathtaking ceremony with a scanned copy of COPR?

Additionally, my family (spouse and children) who arrived with me are also taking the oath with me on the same day/time and they do have their original COPR, which does mention that I am the accompanying family member (being the primary applicant for permanent residency). As well, my scanned copy shows the names of family members accompanying me.

I am aware that there is a way to get a "Verification of Status" from the Citizenship and Immigration Office; however, the processing time is 6 months and my oathtaking is next week.

Appreciate any help/advice. Thanks so much.
