I had received my CoPR with wrong Country of Residence(CoR). It was correctly mentioned for my wife, so I sent an email to the VO. The following was the reply:

I was shocked when they deleted my COPR. I then got a call from the Canadian High Commission in Abu Dhabi to resubmit the passports and COPR. I gave the passport and COPR for me and my wife for submission. Got an update today that new documents have been issued. It wasnt an easy task with more than 10 visits to the VFS in Dubai. Took 1 month for the reply from my VO, but once i submitted the docs, it took just a week.
MY ADVISE : Overall, I understood that you need a change of COPR only if there is an error in name, date of birth, gender, marital status or if a photo has been mistakenly attached to the incorrect COPR. Any other details, you can have it changed at the airport during immigration. However, i realized it after i informed the VO and they had already deleted by COPR so i had no other choice than to resubmit.
