If a COPR has the old passport number, is that a big issue?

[fandv]

My wife's expecting to get her passport, visa, and COPR within the next few days. Before she sent her passport to the CIC, she got a new one as the old one was about to expire.

Considering that the CIC officers sometimes make errors (they're humans afterall), we're pretty concerned if they mistakenly put my wife's old passport number on the COPR (I know that it happened to some people). If that really happened, ideally it would be nice if we could just return my wife's erroneous COPR to the Singapore visa office, and notify them of the error, and request them to issue a brand new COPR with the new passport number on it.

But the Singapore visa office works reaaaalllllyyyyy slowly, and as summer's approaching, airfares to Canada are getting more and more expensive, and we really can't afford to face any extra delays.

So *IF* it turned out that my wife's COPR had the old passport number and *IF* she decided to use it, would it be fine if she just simply showed her old passport (which, thankfully, she keeps) to the immigration officer in Canada, upon her first landing?!

So you guys just sent in the new passport with a new number? How would they issue COPR with a number thats not on the passport you submitted? Not sure I fully understand.

If your wife sent her new passport when she applied it will be fine. They are not going to issue a corp with an old passport .

So you are saying she sent her new passport for her visa counterfoil? If this is the case you are fine, they won't make a mistake.
