Question on CoPR document during COVID-19

Hi everyone, I received a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (CoPR) letter by email weeks ago from CIC. It seems that the procedure for PR applicantion was changed due to Covid-19. There is no interview needed for a inland applicant for now, and I was told that I had become a permanent resident directly. The letter also says "If you have a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (CoPR) document in-hand, please send it along with one photo that meets our photo specifications", which is a bit confusing for me. Is there a paper version of CoPR document to be mailed to me later or is this letter itself the CoPR document I should send my photo with? Can anyone who has gone through this procedure during this pandemic help me with this confusion? Any answer would be highly appreciated!

They mean: if you have access to a printer and able to print this document out please do and send us a copy with your photo.

As you know not everyone has a printer and because of covid19, people may not able to access places where printers are accessible.

This is what I understand and this is what I did since 20 days. Waiting for my card

Have any of you guys tried applying for SIN or health using this document? They rejected mine, probably because it's not a real copr. But the letter says I can.

I got the application of SIN for my son and my husband refused! Mine is still in process!
I didn't hear back from the health (applied 2 weeks ago).

I'm assuming it's just whatever clerk is doing it just hasn't got the memo about these new copr letters.

Do you know if I'll actually get an actual CoPR anyway? Or just the card.

Neither. Its a letter saying that it constitutes proof of PR, and if has my CoPR number at the top. I didn't get a phone call, it just appeared on my gckey
