A question about CoPR and PR card

[qysong]

Hi everyone,

I recently received my landing letter from CRA and I am a little confused about the process... in the letter it says:

"This letter does not replace the permanent resident card; you are still required to submit the documentation to obtain your permanent resident card. If you have a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (CoPR) document in-hand, please send it along with one photo that meets our photo specifications to the address listed above."

Does it mean that I need to have CoPR in hand before start applying for the PR card?

Thanks!

I recently emailed CIC but so far heard nothing, is anyone in the same situation as me?
