I'm a little confused as to what to do now...

I'm an American citizen, applied for PR outland. My wife is a Canadian citizen. I have been in Canada for the last month or so and am now confused as to what to do.

I applied March 12th. Got my final decision on June 18th.

Next day I got my letter asking for my passport photocopy and photos. I sent those off and put my wife's Canada address as my return address.

On the 4th of July I received my physical COPR with no instructions or any other info. What do I do now?

I'd suggest calling them. Before you do - figure out whether you'd prefer to do a physical landing (leave and come back) or virtual. Advantage of first is you'd know when it will happen / under your control. Virtual - no idea how long it might take (this may not matter to you).

When calling them - if you will do physical - check what you are supposed to do and don't you need PR photos so that officer at border orders the PR card for you.
