I believe they will do the reassessment of current one based on some situations. On reassessment results current medicals validity will be extended to 6 months. If not then medicals needs to be done again. All of this will be done when you raise another webform regarding your ability to travel.
Received PPR Email and sent the passports to CPC Ottawa: February 26
Raised the first Webform to get landing appointment: February 27 (no appointment made)
Application Approved: March 12
COPR and PR Visa Received in Mail: March 13
Raised the second Webform to get landing appointment: March 16 (no appointment made)
Received landing telephone interview call and email: April 22 (landing process completed)
Hope this helps.
Yes!! Now they are becoming more understanding and this unwilling word was extremely required in today's scenario . Congrats to all those falling in this category.Guys our medical expires with copr only right??
But what about validity of IME.I think it is valid for one year only no?They might extend it like they did for some .Even if a person is not able to land then I think they will take remedicals.
Excellent find! Well done!
I am sure the members were choosing not to fly and not in lockdown will be relieved by seeing this. I was in a similar situation myself a few weeks back, but then the government finally banned air travel. I raised a webform informing them of the situation.
I noticed a couple of days back that the Canadian Embassy in my country is conducting a survey to determine the need of chartered flight to Canada. I did not want to go down this route as I already spent a lot of money buying tickets and they have not been refunded. The tickets for the chartered flight is too expensive and they only fly to Montreal. I would need to buy another ticket to Toronto. However, I felt like I might have to get on this flight as it is an option for me to travel, and if I did not that would mean I chose not to travel.
IRCC adding 'or unwilling' after unable means we can stop stressing about this for now.
Can anyone shed some light on the modified wording for medicals?
Is there anything else on the page they have changed or added to?
IME is valid for one year and it depends upon officer and your current IME reassessment if you are required to redo medicals. Question is do we still fall under exemption category if CoPR extension is provided? what will be the new CoPR approval date?
It took one minute and the lady asked if we are currently residing in Canada or not. Then said your landing process is complete and you will receive an email from me today with a letter confirming permanent residency. I was on WP visa.
Thanks a lot! These news give us, inland CoPR, some hope!
What was the expiry date of your CoPR?
Hello everyone, I raised a web form on the IRCC website due to my inability to travel to Canada because of Covid-19. My CoPR was approved in February but i couldn't travel due to the travel restrictions at the time in my Country. This is the response i got below, I don't know if i should raise another web form. Please any info will be highly appreciated, Thanks.

If your permanent residence (PR) application was approved on or before March 18, 2020, but you haven't travelled to Canada yet:
- You're exempt from the travel restriction measures, and
- You're now able to enter Canada.
- You need to pass a health check conducted by airlines before you're allowed to board your flight,
- Anyone who shows symptoms of COVID-19 will not be allowed to enter Canada by air.
We just received CoPRs today and the approval date is Mar 12. According to the travel restriction exemption, I think we should be able to land at border. However, the problem is to do a flagpole landing, we need to cross US custom first. Does any one do flag pole landing these days? Does US official allows that? We have valid US visas (L1 and L2).
This is impossible to believe that flights are not starting before September, for kind information Air India is having 30-35 crore loss everyday since 22 March and many more airlines do. If this is a situation, Its very hard for government to bailout airlines as they will surly go bankrupt.
Other point, according to one survey over 9000 people who are Canadian PR, Work permit holder and students are stranded in India due to this travel ban, Canadian government arranging repatriation flights only for citizens. So starting international airlines after Sep or from Sep is compliantly idiotic thought
Well I agree health risk due to corona is much higher, but government should understand lock down is not a permanent solution. It just gives time to government to make strategies. more testing and isolation facility and more dedicated heath workers.
