Hi,

Yes I have a passport from a visa-exempt country and just received my CoPR. I had sent in, as requested, a scanned copy of all the pages (identity page and any stamped pages of my passport) and two photographs. CIC keep one photograph and stick the other back on the CoPR that they return to you. You take the CoPR and your passport to a port of entry to activate your PR.

Good luck!
How did you send it? Through online portal or replying to the email sent to you?

You can send things from wherever you want.
Brazil is a country that is vida exempt in special cases.

In my case, I travel using ETA and I have a Brazilian passport.
Today I received PPR email. Can I send only the photocopy of the passport?

I would assume so but given the special rules regarding TRVs/eTAs for Brazilians, I can't say for sure.
