Congratulations! I keep mine in my passport on the page opposite the photo page, handy to keep all that stuff together.

Re: I got my Permanent Residency Card!
I was told the COPR letter is the more important document. If you lose the PR card you need the COPR letter to get a replacement. That's provided I understood the CBSA guy at the border this weekend correctly. He said as soon as I get my PR card I should take the COPR letter out of my passport and store it somewhere safe.

Keep it safe.
Congrats on landing, by the way!

This twat literally threw it on the floor telling me it was useless.
I begged to differ.

Congarts on the PR Cards. I remember when I first got ours.
I think I only have 3 out of 4 COPR and sure one has been misplaced (mine actually !).
Can they be replaced ?

Re: I got my Permanent Residency Card!
You don't make a separate application. On being processed, when landing, you give an address and they automatically send the card there. Ours took about a month to come through.

Re: I got my Permanent Residency Card!
Reading about how important the CORP is I got a little nervous; thankfully a quick check of my documents showed that I still had it.
Thanks guys; I'd never have thought it was that important once I got the card.
