Entering Canada without activating COPR
Hi
I found a wiki entry that states you don't have to activate your COPR on entering Canada. You can just enter as a tourist with your ETA and activate your COPR when you're ready. Is this still true and if so could someone point me in the direction of any evidence (Eg CIC/IRCC website) that backs this up?
The reason I'm asking is that I'm flying out to Canada mid June but need to be back in the UK at the start of August, so not long enough for a PR card to arrive if I activate my COPR and I'm barely back in the UK long enough to do a PRTD application
Any ideas?

Hi
1. As long as you have a valid ETA, then no problem.

AIUI, FL works for CBSA - his reply is about as authoritative as you are gonna get!
