    I would advise you to call the CIC regarding this issue, it might not be necessary to resend ur CoPR to Ottawa. I am not sure, but it might be possible to make corrections during landing. Check this link: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2011/ob358.asp

    By the way, I was really surprised when I knew that the COPR is just that ordinary white paper, printed in black, that we received by mail today. I thought they are going to issue a study permit-like document at landing, I mean something that looks more original :)

    These info as well as some other info in that section were already blank, the officer filled out some of them based on my answers. I think these two dates for u should be different, I think it is a mistake. Although I don't think it is important but u still can mention that when u return it back.

    I just wanted to mention that my landing procedure was very smooth, the officer did not ask for any documents or any proof of fund. Just a couple of questions about my address, date to enter Canada for the first time and details like that. At the end he told me, "now u r a permanent resident and...

    I sent it by express mail and I also included an express mail envelope. The package arrived there on May 23. It may just take them more time to collect mails from the PO box. Anyways, I still have to be in that waiting game for extra few days :)

    Both options are OK, they can mail it directly to CIC, or they can mail it first to her then she mails it to the CIC by herself. For me, I received it first then I mailed it by myself to CIC.

    Guys who went through the landing procedure before, I live in a border city and I do have a valid US visa. I am just wondering do I have to cross first to the US side and then complete the landing procedure at the Canadian border in my way back, or there is no need to cross to the US side ?
