Hi, I need a suggestion please,

I have Canada's multiple entry visitor visa, work permit, and COPR. I am still waiting for my first PR card. Can I travel to the US and come back to Canada using my visitor visa. Or, Do I still need PR Travel Document (because this takes months; and I have to come back in a month and a half).

Please suggest!

COPR is not a travel document

You can surely try.
Usually once you get the COPR the other permits are not longer valid on the IRCC system.
The airline may check with the IRCC DB the validity of the permit, and if it returns invalid, you can’t board the flight.
Once you are in Canada, they cant refuse you entry as PR. But I would expect some pushback from the officer at the POE.

I've read some people saying claiming it worked for them

So… good luck

You can only come back by land or else you need your PR card or PRTD.
