What to do when PGWP is about to expire while PR application is approved but no COPR?

What kind of PR application? CEC? If so, apply for a BOWP.
 
CEC. Application has been approved with COPR but not the document.

You will have to stop working if your PGWP expires before you are notified that you are a PR through automatic landing.

If you don't want the risk of having to stop working, then apply for the BOWP. You can always cancel it.
 
I have the COPR on the portal but have not received the PDF document
You will have to contact the call centre to find out. I don't think you need the physical copy to continue working, as long as it has already been approved in the portal.

The physical copy is required when changing your SIN number,extending your driver's licence and qualifies you to pay domestic tuition fees if you plan on going back to school.

I am not sure completely on how this new system works.

But having your COPR means you are already a PR and can hence continue to work. You don't a permit anymore.
 
Hi I'm in this same situation. My OWP expired in Jan 21 while PR application is approved but no COPR. What is my status?

Your status will still be work permit till landing is completed. I later received my COPR on Christmas eve. Just be patient you will get it soon.
