If they've taken the time to specify certain required dimensions, then it would seem to me that you should do as they ask.

you get COPR forms too, aswell as your passportback.

yes the confirmation of permanent residence forms are included.
you have to complete these when you land and are with the passports.
so these needed the big envelope ( thats what mine were like)

Is that an A4 envelope then?

Essentially, yes. A4 paper is 8.3 X 11.7. North American paper is slightly different, though.
