COPR and coronavirus

[indpnv]

Did you contacted the airlines to get confirmation or is there something on their website? Also, which location/airline you are travelling from?

Yeah, sent an email from the airlines' website. I will be flying from Boston.

Hey, as far as I know those special flights are only for Canadian citizens. Even my wife wants to travel but they are not allowing. Let me know if you come across any news.
Thanks

By the way when is your wife's copr is expiring and which city your wife is in?

Hi @UsakaurB , when are you planning to travel? Will you be also using AVR?

I do not plan to travel as of now, I have raised a webform for extension.

COPR expires on 24th July 2020
Primary applicant Medicals expire on 25 July 2020
Dependent child Medical expire on 13 August 2020
Already changed my flight to open ticket.
In my case, after a lot of effort I was able to obtain a medical for my daughter from my ex spouse.
Question- When i put a COPR extension request and if re-medicals are required. Would it also mean re-medical for my daughter. This would be very difficult for me. What judgment can we have about this ?
Please share your understanding

Few members report of getting extension without requiring re-medical. I am unable to personally verify.

My Mom's CoPR expires in a week and plan to raise my next web-form of 'ability to travel' after the CoPR expiry.

Also, some members here have shared IRCC procedure updates as instructions for officers to process expired CoPRs. From that it seems:

1. If the medical status on CoPR is M1 (denoted as '1' as opposed to '2' etc) then that might imply least chances of re-medical request. I understand M1 is the best health report (guessing others may know better)
2. Individual CoPR status would / might differ for each family member - not sure if that implies officer might seek re-medical for only select family members. (again, guessing others may know better)

Overall, purely from a logistical overload for all expired / delayed paper work for visa officers and offices worldwide, I would quip there should not be much of a worry if you and your daughter's health conditions have been normal. And that there should be no re-medical requested for yourself or your daughter either. So one less worry for you.

You obviously understand the standard caveats - I am no expert, others can correct me, no way of predicting visa officer's decision etc etc.

Wish you, your daughter the very best and we Canadians, look forward to your safe arrival!

Hello,
Just confirming my COPR says the city of destination is Vancouver. I am FSW- Outland and not PNP, can I travel to Toronto instead to get the document stamped or do I HAVE to go to Vancouver?

FSW-O can land anywhere.
PNP can also land anywhere as long as they have a connecting onward flight to the province of their nomination to convince the immigration officer that they intend to live in the correct province and have not misrepresented their intentions.

Okay, Thanks!

Are you flying with Delta? I tried to find an email address on their website, but couldn't find any.

I woke up today with the email confirming my PR status and giving instructions on how to request a PR card. Not even a phone interview! However, I had called IRCC a couple of days ago to ask some questions about my visa renewal, so maybe that was enough to confirm my current address.
Good luck to all! Stay calm, they are working hard to accommodate everyone regardless the COVID19 crisis.

May I know what step you took after getting the email approval to get the PR card?

 

[Rocky149]

Yes, I sent it 2 weeks ago, but still no updates yet.

Thank you for the reply. few more questions.

1. Did you sign the physical COPR document (IRCC Copy) before sending or send it as it is?
2. You only send the IRCC copy or client copy as well?
3. Also, did you send any extra photo or the photo which is on the IRCC copy is enough?

Copr got expired today .... sent webform on April 14

 

[kapilhere]

Guys,

Thanks in advance for all the support

Copr got expired today .... sent webform on April 14

No worries...think you will get an extension without redoing the medicals......quick question...did you sent the webform to the visa processing office or answered "No" to the question if your application is processed outside Canada...since this is what they say you should chose if you are impacted by Covid.
Did you get any reply for the webform? what is your visa processing office?

Thank you so much @hinavin
Yes i fall under M1 category as mentioned in my COPR letter, but it doesn't mention any category for my dependent child ( may be because she is non accompanying).
You have been really welcoming.
Looking forward to take the challenges once the international flights resume.

Dear all,
I hope you are healthy & safe during these unprecedented days. I received my PPR and plan to submit my passport for issuing my COPR&Visa. Would you please let me know for how long COPR&Visa will be valid to travel with? Thanks in advance for your reply.

Hope you are doing well. Your COPR and one-time use Visa will be valid for a year from the time you took your medicals (+/- a few days).
