I wouldn't panic. Seems to me like an admin error which is bound to happen when they are processing tens of thousands of applications a year. I would fax a copy of your signed COPR and the passport page the border agent stamped. They will likely process it quickly once they receive it.

Thanks Fitztorious I hope they do it right this time

It looks like a HUGE blunder than an admin error

It would of been catastrophic if the OP had lost his/her CoPR, wouldn't it?

I actually know someone who threw out their CoPR accidentally when they received it in the mail before they landed (outside of Canada). Surprisingly, they reissued a new CoPR in about a week. So it appears that getting a new CoPR would be possible but not something I would want to go through.

Well that's quite a bit different. An unsigned CoPR can be replaced, but a signed one contains landing information vital to prove your PR status. I remember seeing the border officer enter something in the computer when I landed, so hopefully they should have something in their system, in case both copies of CoPR (CBSA's and yours) are lost..

I just end up an another call with CIC agent and he said he cant see any document updated on my profile which I send them through FAX last Wednesday and Thursday. He also said that I might take 2 week to update. when I ask him what is my status I am a Permanent Resident or not?? he said technically you are Permanent Resident just have to wait to see it online Don't know should I believe this or not?

Ahh okay. singhsukhbir mentioned that CIC had nothing in their system of him landing. I wonder if his PR card is being processed?

If CIC doesn't have anything in their system, then I don't think the PR card is being processed. Probably the CBSA officer has to initiate the process after confirming the landing info from OP's copy of CoPR...

do you guys think i can face trouble in getting my PR CARD or even getting my status complete by CBSA/CIC?????

Relax, you should be good. They know they messed up and they won't hassle you for their mistake.

Good thing you didn't lose your copy of CoPR. Like the other poster said you should be good. It's just a matter of time for them to sort things out.
