New express entry invitation but prior COPR is still valid

[kuku82]

I'm in a unique situation where last year (2018) I applied under express entry and got my application approved (already have COPR and passport stamp). The validity expires in Apr 2019.

However, due to unavoidable circumstances, I won't be able to land in Canada before that date. In the meantime, I floated my profile in the express entry pool and got invited again.

Should I just go ahead and fill out the application for the new ITA? I understand I need to pay the applicable fees again, which is fine by me. What happens to the existing COPR that's still valid? Would it automatically get invalidated? Do I have to invalidate it first before submitting the 2nd application?

You should try to land. You dont have to stay.... but it is definitely best to just land and then leave.

Landing ain't an option for me before the Apr 2019 expiry of my current COPR unfortunately....

You need to send your COPR back first. There should be instructions in the letter that comes with the COPR.

Thanks, will check that. I assume the passport does not have to be sent back, for cancelling the immigrant visa stamp?

That I'm not sure. Check the instructions first anyways.
