I was just wondering if anyone had any experience traveling into Canada without a visa or a PR card. I have my COPR, but am still waiting on my PR card. I need to travel in and out of the country. I know it is possible to do so via cars. But is it difficult? Do the border guards give you a hard time?

IF you apply for this Travel Document, you can travel without PR Card and Visa.

No, you will not have any trouble driving across the border with your COPR.

Thanks @new_migration and @canuck_in_uk. The only problem with the Travel Document is, it is a one time use document. So I think you have to apply for a new one every time you travel. @canuck_in_uk, is it possible to drive in with the COPR multiple times?
