while I was re-entering with my friend, who had received his COPR then, I remember the officer telling him that this document that he had received with his passport wouldn't help him to enter Canada by air or water ways! he was been told to have PR card handy!

CoPR is not considered as valid document by airport/water authorities to enter Canada. You can use that document to enter via road though.
You need to either have your PR card or travel document while returning to Canada. You can apply for travel document once you have landed in UK.

COPR accompanied with immigrant visa is a valid way of entering to canada by AIR ( This is one of the ways of doing landing) . You dont need any PR card or travel document if this is the case.

1. People have reported about 9/10 days, including mailing time from the VAC in London.

If you have already "landed", the "immigrant visa" is void and will not be any good.
