Hi @legalfalcon , I received my CoPR letter on my personal email however i see that COB ( country of birth) is not correct. It seems to be a clerical error. It’s mentioned as Iceland instead of India. If you can give some information, Is it a cause of concern. And how can i get this corrected? And will it delay the PR card processing?
It is not a cause of concern, and if yous see on a scroll down menu, Iceland and India are next to each other, so it is a clerical error. But you should get it corrected.

Send a webform to IRCC and highlight the issue. A new corrected COPR will be issued.

Hi @legalfalcon ,
my PR was approved on March 23, 2021. I can see the COPR document number in the cic account and it shows the document is valid. I am yet to receive my COPR PDF. There is a family emergency and I need to travel to India as soon as possible. So can I travel before getting the COPR document? Also, what would be my current status in Canada? I was on BOWP.
thanks.
If you see a COPR number, then you should get the COPR in a few days. You can surely travel, there is no prohibition on travel.

However, if you receive the COPR when you are not in Canada, you will be a PR effective the date on the COPR and all other existing visas and permits will be cancelled. To travel back you will need a PR card or apply for a PRTD from the country you are in.
