Hello all,
So, my husband has his PR and we are are headed to Canada soon! In the midst of figuring out all of his required paperwork, I haven't given much thought to what I will need at the border to permanently return to Canada (I am a citizen). Other than my possessions list of what I will be importing and my Canadian passport, is there anything I need? (I will be crossing separately from my husband a few days earlier so I was going to bring with me a copy of his Confirmation of Permanent Residency)

Hi

You don't need anything else. There is zero reason to have a copy of your husband's COPR.

I just thought it might help because I am bringing our kids with me and he won't be there (to prove that he is coming). We will also have the letter from the gov't of Canada website.

You don't need to prove he is coming to Canada. Leave the COPR out.
