Hello
@Abbaszaidi110
How did it go with you? They listed my citizenship wrong on the COPR document as well and I just emailed IRCC on the same email where we were asked to reply with our UCI number and other stuff before they gave us the PR Portal log in info.
Anyhow,
IMM1436e is the form that needs to be filled to make an amendment in the COPR. However, please READ the instruction guide
IMM 5218 so you know what to expect. In this instruction guide, it states the following:
Permanent resident documents
Your record of landing (IMM 1000) or confirmation of permanent residence is an historical document which contains information about you when you obtained the status of permanent resident in Canada.
IRCC will not amend the record of landing (IMM 1000) or confirmation of permanent residence even if it is a result of a clerical error. If an administrative or clerical error is made by IRCC, the amendment will be made in IRCC’s system of record and the client will be issued a verification of status (VoS) document free of charge.
What information may be corrected?
Information contained on your record of landing (IMM 1000) or confirmation of permanent residence will be amended
only to correct errors made by Canadian immigration officials in recording the information you provided when you applied to come to Canada.
What information will not be corrected?
Your record of landing (IMM 1000) or confirmation of permanent residence is not an identity document. Therefore, it will not be amended to correct personal information that changed after the date permanent residence was granted.
Requests for these types of changes should go to the Registrar General of the province or territory in which you live.
Any amendments to names must conform to the Department’s policy which stipulates that the name indicated on the bar code of your passport when you entered Canada will be used for your immigration file and documents. If the name on your record of landing or confirmation of permanent residence matches the passport you used to enter Canada, your immigration records will not be amended.
The above appears to indicate that:
Any information change will NOT mean we will get a new COPR. Rather, we will be issued a Verification of Status (VoS) document that we must use along with the COPR document to prove the necessary correction was made in the IRCC system.
By the way, from my research IMM 1000 is the same as the COPR document. It is actually called IMM 5688 now but used to be known as IMM 1000 in the past.
Hope you and others find this insight helpful. If you do, please request the "
Creator of the Heavens and the Earth" to empower me to help others. Lol.
Thanks.
