My CPR had an error. Not realizing it was a minor error and I could have corrected it at the border, I sent it back. I'd already made plans to land (booking train tickets, hotel) but I'm wondering if I should cancel them if it's going to take too long to get the correct one back.

has anyone had sent their CPR back recently for a correction? How long does it take????

Just curious, where are you planning to complete your landing on train???
 
Lol... I think he is taking a train to the city closest to the border and will be staying overnight(hence the hotel tickets).

@OP, as it's hard to know when your COPR will arrive, if you are allowed to cancel your tickets, you may want to do that and re-book when the COPR arrives. Also, not sure when your medicals expire but you can also book an appointment and land in a local CIC office.

I know if your medicals expire in a short time(few weeks) and you are far from the border(I assume you are since you are taking a train), the call centre agent can submit an urgent request on your behalf and your landing appointment could be in a week. That was the case for me, my medicals were expiring in 3 or 4 weeks and the closest border was in a neighboring province.

yeah, i can't even cancel now. i suppose if the corrected CPR doesn't come in a few weeks, I'll just take a nice trip. ..
what sucks is that there were no real clear instructions on what to enclose with the returned CPR, or even to send it back. all it said was send it back if there was something wrogn with the vital information. but it didn't say DON"T send it back if there was an error in the remaining info.

bloody shit.
 
The instructions aren't always clear, unfortunately. It's good that you plan to take a nice trip anyway, might as well enjoy it. Who knows, the COPR might come before and you can shoot two birds with one stone.
