Topic: Laminated COPR (IMM 5292)

Hi all,

I laminated my COPR (IMM 5292), will it cause a problem when I show it during the citizenship test / oath?

I called CIC office, the lady it depends on the immigration officer on the local office.

My test date is end of Feb 27, 2012. I won't have time to apply for a certified copy :S

I don't have a clue.

But please let us know how it goes.

Bureaucracy is what bureaucracy does, or When in doubt, follow the instructions. Otherwise, follow the instructions.

BTW: Not an expert, not a Can. lawyer, never worked in immigration

Did some search online and found this:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/cp/cp13-eng.pdf

In Section 13.4:

Stamping the Immigration Record of Landing

The stamp has been designed to fit all versions of the IMM 1000, including the small "landing

cards" (these can be stamped on the back). The Record of Landing original or certified copy

issued by QRC (not a photocopy or other reproduction) is stamped as applicants present

themselves at the citizenship ceremony, immediately before taking the oath of citizenship.

Stamping is done at all ceremonies, including special ceremonies and ceremonies held away

from the local office.

If an applicant presents an IMM 1000 that has been laminated or is otherwise impossible to

stamp, make a note in FOSS of the condition of the document and the reason for not stamping it.

If the document has been laminated, it must be perforated by punching a hole in the document.

Since permanent residence status has been confirmed before the grant of citizenship, it is not

necessary to have the applicant obtain a certified copy of the IMM 1000 for the sole purpose of

stamping it at the ceremony.

Also, found something in

Background

The PR card was primarily designed to avoid the problem of fraudulent use associated with the

IMM 1000. Accordingly, strict regulatory and procedural safeguards have been developed to

protect its integrity. These include provisions governing the production, distribution and

destruction of the PR card.

Persons who become permanent residents after June 28, 2002, are issued a PR card

automatically, pursuant to subsection 31(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection

Regulations, together with a Confirmation of Permanent Residence document (IMM 5292). The

IMM 5292 replaces the Immigration Record of Landing for purposes of demonstrating the

historical fact of permanent residence, as well as containing personal information formerly

captured on the IMM 1000, including immigration details of the person to whom it was issued. It

assists that person in obtaining access to a variety of Canadian provincial and federal

government programs and services. One of the main differences between the IMM 1000 and the

IMM 5292 is that the holder’s copy of the IMM 5292 is preprinted with the notation "NOT VALID

FOR TRAVEL/NON VALIDE POUR VOYAGER." There is, therefore, no requirement to update

the information on the (status of the holder) of IMM 5292, when the holder becomes a citizen,

since only the PR card can be used for travel.

It is important to note, however, that CIC will continue to update the Record of Landing of persons

who received a PR card on the strength of their IMM 1000 by stamping the document, "The

holder is no longer a permanent resident" at the time the holder becomes a Canadian citizen.
