Received both COPR and BOWP same time

[Harry304]

Hi All,

I applied for PR on Jan 6th 2020 and below are the timelines

--- Received medical confirmation on Jan 25th
--- Completed bio-metrics on Feb 10th
--- Applied for BOWP on April 23rd (as my work permit will expire by June end)
--- BOWP status changed to approved on May 29th.
--- Document status for PR is now showing as COPR as of June 2nd.

I'm yet to receive bowp document through mail, but now my PR status is COPR.

My questions are :
--- Should I now ignore the bowp mail and proceed with steps after COPR OR will bowp now automatically gets cancelled/invalid ?
--- Will I get a refund for BOWP ?
--- Since my WP will expire by end of June, do I need to take steps for both COPR and BOWP so that I have VISA extension asap for renewing my health card ?

Thanks

Many congrats!
I don't have an answer for you but I highly doubt you will get a refund. I would get both documents, especially if your health card is expiring.

Since you are a permanent resident, all other temporary docs are deemed invalid. You should move forward with steps to get your PR card. You can use your CoPR to renew your health card. Give your provincial services a call and ask what you need to do, they mostly will ask you to send all the paperwork to them via email and will issue you a health card.
