Was I supposed to receive paperwork when I entered Canada for the first time as a permanent resident yesterday?

[guatocan]

I rolled into the airport yesterday, went through immigration, and got a passport stamp on my (American) passport with a number on it, a generic paper saying "Congratulations! You are now a permanent resident of Canada. As a new resident, you have the same rights as a Canadian citizen, except the right to vote in Canada", a pamphlet from the Canadian government saying, "New to Canada? We can help you succeed", and finally, a janky looking paper explaining to me how to declare an address.

I feel like I was supposed to receive paperwork confirming that I've landed?

1. You should have got a copy of COPR.
2. In about 142 days + mailing time, you will receive your PR card in the mail.

Weird, I wasn't given a copy of my COPR...

1. You should probably contact CBSA as you will need it.
