I was issued Canada PR visa valid until April 2015 on Indian Passport. After the issue of visa and before landing, I got naturalised as British citizen. I am yet to surrender my Indian Passport. Can I use the Confirmation of Permanent Residence and my new British Passport for landing? Or should I use Indian Passport to land? I know that India does not allow dual nationality.

I am not sure on this so take my advice with a grain of salt, but my understanding is that you cannot use COPR before you land. You HAVE to use the PR visa to complete the landing procedure and then you have an option to use COPR if you don't have a valid PR card during travel. It's best to use your current PR visa on your Indian passport for landing or else your PR visa has to be re-issued in the new passport before landing.
