When you come to Canada, you must show your Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) and Canadian immigrant visa to an Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) officer at the Port of Entry.
The IRCC officer will check that your documents have not expired. You cannot use expired documents. Canadian immigrant visas cannot be extended, so make sure you arrive in Canada before it expires.
You must bring a valid passport with you.
You need to have 2 copies of a detailed list of your belongings that you are bringing with you and their value in Canadian funds. You also need a list of the items that are arriving later and their value in Canadian funds.
You may be asked to show proof of funds. If you are carrying more than C$10,000, you must tell a border official.

Birth certificate or adoption papers
