If you spot an incorrect detail on your Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) — such as a wrong height, eye colour, or similar biographical field:
- If you're an outland applicant landing at a Canadian port of entry (POE), you can generally get the correction made directly by the border services officer at the time of landing — flag the error to them when you arrive.
- If you're already inland or the error is discovered separately, submit a webform to IRCC requesting the correction rather than waiting or assuming it's fine.
Don't ignore small-looking data errors on your COPR — inconsistent biographical details can cause friction with future document checks, so get them corrected through the appropriate channel above.
