Hi David, Thanks for your questions. Yes, a visa counterfoil is a new visa that you will get when you arrive. It will replace your Immigrant Visa and Record of Landing in your passport.
I'm not sure what you mean by landing document. If you are referring to a Record of Landing then it is what you get prior to a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (PR).
