Can I land with COPR in Canada using my re-entry permit as passport?

Dear friends,
I have a question.
I am US permanent resident, and I do not have a valid passport from my country of origin (asylum to US years ago).
I have applied and got a re-entry permit (good for 2 years, Form: I-131) and obviously I have a US green card.
When my Canadian PR gets approved, I believe they will mail me the letter of "Confirmation of Permanent Residence" and I will need to land in Canada with this document in order to become a Canadian permanent resident at that time.
So, I will buy a flight ticket, use my re-entry permit for airline check-in, and green card (to be allowed in Canada without visa) and COPR (to finalize my PR and request plastic to be sent).
My question is: For landing purpose, could I have any problem with the fact that my passport will be my re-entry permit?
P.S.: In the past I have used my re-entry permit to travel to Japan, Europe (with proper visas acquired and printed inside) and haven't had a problem entering those countries, except they usually spend a little more time, because the re-entry permit doesn't look like usual US passports.
P.S.: on CIC, I have read: "You must hold a valid regular passport;
diplomatic, official, service or public affairs passports are not valid for immigration to Canada." but it doesn't mention anything about "re-entry permit" or "refugee travel document"

In order for them to give you the visa you need to mail or bring in person your passport or your travel document.Here is the link that answer your question
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/E37048.pdf
I believe they will accept your traVEL OR RE-ENTRY IN PLACE OF A PASSPORT.What type of program did you apply for?
