Urgent! Mistake on COPR! Please kindly help!

[amostpainfulwait]

Dear members,

My wife recently received her COPR from SVO. We noticed a mistake on the COPR where, under my information (the sponsor), the address is incorrect. The address they put is the address of our representative, the law firm we used. I know we put the mailing address to be the law firm's address (in IMM 0008), but in my sponsor questionnaire form (IMM 5540), the address was my address. Now, we don't know what to do. I've read that we may need to send our passport and COPR back to SVO for them to fix the COPR? Is this true? Does anyone know if this can be fixed during the landing interview with the current COPR (without the need to send the COPR back to SVO)? Did anyone else see this happen while using a representative?

Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Thanks for your input!

What confuses me though is that the letter with the COPR mentions about what is to be done if the COPR has a mistake. It firstly mentions that the visa office be notified. Then it specifically states that "if the name or date of birth of any family member differs from the name or date of birth in that person's passport, or if the passport number or validity is incorrect", the passport and COPR should be returned to the Sinapore visa office for correction. However, there is no specific mention of returning the passport and COPR for an address mistake. The thing is our tickets have already been bought before we noticed the mistake. I am not sure if we will be able to get back her passport and COPR from the visa office after the correction in time.

In either case, I'm guessing the visa office should be made aware of this? Comments, ideas, suggestions? Thanks!

They can make some corrections and address changes at the time of landing.

There is no need to notify the VO or return the COPR. CBSA can correct that when landing.

Okay we will notify them during landing then. Thank you everyone!

I had our consultant's address on my COPR and I didn't see it as a mistake. At the time of landing I was asked about that address and I said that it's our consultant's office and that I'd like them to send my PR card to that address. But if I wanted to change it, there would be no problem either, so don't worry.
