Have COPR; Short Visit without Landing?

[KelownaBound]

I have COPR and intend to land formally in a few months, (Outland Spousal Sponsorship). I am visiting Canada (UK passport so no visa required) for a few days soon to attend my daughter's graduation. Do I need to inform immigration of the COPR or just enter? Any advice?
Thanks

I'd tell them if it comes up. If they ask, just tell them you don't wish to 'land' (become a PR) just yet, if that's what you want.

Note, there's no harm in doing it early either. The one thing is you'd have to get the PR card sent somewhere in Canada and then sent on to you in UK. (That's the only significant inconvenience I can think of)
