Incorrect marital status on COPR

I was single when I got the ITA in March 2023. Then I got married in Nov 2023 and updated IRCC of the same and my marital status was updated in their system.
I received the PPR in March 2024 and sent my passport for stamping at the New Delhi VO.
I received my passport and COPR on 15 May 2024, but the marital status on COPR says single.
My queries:
1. Will this need to be corrected as I had already informed IRCC about the change and then only received the PPR request.
2. Can I land using this COPR or it has to be amended?
3. If this needs to be amended, what is the course of action?

You want to inform them of this error as soon as possible. IRCC outlined the process for how to correct an error on your COPR in their helpdesk article, How do I correct an error on my immigration document? Here is an excerpt:

An amendment will only be made if your document does not match the personal information in your entry passport.

I have informed IRCC of the error straight away. However as per your response, can I travel using the same CoPR and then request for the amendment?
