Sensitivity of Confirmation of Permanent Residence Documents

[qop1234]

Hi,
I have a little problem that is really disturbing me.
I have photocopied both documents of the CPR.
The original and photocopies of the form w/o the passport photo got mixed. The problem is I can't determine which is the original because it looks exactly the same: paper and clarity.
Would there be a problem when I land in Canada and I end up handling the Immigration Officer the photocopy of the CPR?
Are these documents very sensitive? Is it fine if it's folded?

My flight is in less than I month, my nerves are on the edge. Thank you for your answer.

You have to produce original COPR to immigration officer there...it's ok to fold that document..but it's not allowed to laminate it bcz immigration officer will write your time of becoming permanent resident on it at the time you arrive at Canada airport..Will take your signature on it...if you are not able to recognize the original one take some other person's help..it's not big issue..so relax

Take the original and the photocopy. give them both to the CBSA officer and tell him what you did and you can both figure it out. I doubt it's the first time it ever happened. Worst case, they send both in and you make a new photocopy when they are done. Relax!

The original should have a watermark on it. I am a bit confused about what form you are referring to as being mixed up, since the COPR itself should only be one page. Do you mean the 'directions' that were enclosed with the COPR? If so, those don't matter and will not be needed anyway.

The COPR is on legal paper (it's longer than letter-size) and so did you happen to have a scanner with a document feeder and legal-sized paper laying around to make it so perfect? Otherwise maybe as Alurra71 said you didn't copy the actual COPR.
