Frequently Asked Questions

What is a confirmation of permanent residence number?

The Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR), sometimes referred to by its document numbers IMM 5292 or IMM 5688, is issued to new Permanent Residents by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada.

Can I return to Canada with COPR?

Indeed, the issuance and signature of the CoPR marks the date your status officially changes to that of a permanent resident. Once this change is made, the individual can no longer travel abroad and return to Canada on their previous work permit or study permit as they are no longer valid.
