1. You answered your 1st question with your last. Your COPR will be valid for 1 year after the date of the medicals or the expiry of the passport whichever comes first.
2. Some people have had as short as 2 weeks. That is those that didn't want to do another medical.

Hi,

I have received my visa with validity until: 15 July 2015. Does that mean I have to do my landing anytime before this date? Actually due to some reasons, I want to delay my landing process. Do I get PR status after landing or after COPR? From when will my 3 years count for retaining PR will start? Thanks.

1. Yes, you have to land before July 15th, it won't be extended. "Use it or lose it"
2. It is 2 years residency and starts the day you "land" and runs for 5 years.

Thanks PMM. +1 :D

I want to delay it till I receive my OWP which is in progress. Should get it by end of this month. I just hope by delaying it a month wont affect my PR.

Are you in Canada ? you can just flagpole at the border.
Once you land, all your other work permits and visas become void.

Why r u waiting for OWP ?? It becomes useless after you land.

If your OWP application is not yet opened, there is a chance CIC will refund the fee once you become PR.
