Hi all,

Our COPR have expired on April 30th.We have already raised the web form around mid of April and we got a generic reply from IRCC.

On May 5th We have raised another webform informing them about our inability to travel and we got the exact reply as above from an IRCC agent(Not genric reply)

We verified the information you provided and have forwarded it to the responsible office.

They will contact you if further information is required or if a decision is made on your application.

We hope the information provided is helpful in assisting you with your enquiry.



They didn't mention which office they have forwarded it.

I hope it would be mainly the Visa office which has processed our application.

Any suggestion do i need to mail them asking about the responsible office and send the mail to them again or no action is required from my end.

Please provide your suggestions on thsi which will be really helpful..

Anybody got the same reply like this??in such case what you guys have done.Please share.

Thanks in advance

Thanks @saad_im , also I was reading somewhere (not sure where) that due to the current situation, they want to ensure that no test covid +ve coming into the country. Do we need to provide any medical results for the same? Or is it that the do the tests (as in check temperature) on landing in Canada?

No you don’t need to provide a medical test to enter the country.

Here's the main part of the letter I received:

I am pleased to advise you that your application for permanent residence in Canada is now complete. Congratulations! You are now a permanent resident of Canada!
This letter constitutes an official document issued by the Department of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. You can provide a copy of this letter to prove that you are a permanent resident of Canada and to apply for government benefits and services for which you are eligible, until you receive your permanent resident card.
This letter does not replace the permanent resident card; you are still required to submit the documentation to obtain your permanent resident card. If you have a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (CoPR) document in-hand, please send it along with one photo that meets our photo specifications to the address listed above. Please ensure that you write your unique client identifier (UCI) and name on the back of the photo. If your address has changed, please provide us with your current address.
We realize that you may not be able to send this photo right now due to the Government of Canada’s order to stay home during the COVID-19 situation. Please send this photo to us when it will be possible as per your provincial and/or local authorities’ guidelines. In the meantime, this letter will serve as proof of your permanent resident status in Canada. You can use this letter for one year and it must be accompanied by a travel document or a federal/provincial/territorial identity document. The permanent resident card is required after this one-year period.

May I know what action you took? Did you send the Confirmation of Permanent Residence (CoPR) document?

Hello to Everyone and hope that some you can share your wisdom on this matter

Our (me and my family) COPRs expire next week. We made a conscious decision to not travel during this time. We would have to go from South East Asia and would have required to make at-least 1 or 2 transits at travel hubs to reach Canada as there are no direct flights. With long travel time and a toddler with us led us to decide to not travel until the situation improves.
At the same time, we didn't even book any tickets (that I had planned to do in Jan/Feb) hence I can't really say that my flight was cancelled.

I raised webform stating my concerns and asking explicitly what options do we have if we can't travel but have only got a automated/generic response on the same.

I am concerned that our approved COPRs will be withdrawn and we may have to go through the entire process again!

Are there others who have made a conscious decision to not travel and informed IRCC - Have you got any response from IRCC and if so what is it?
I feel like I should raise another web form and inform them again but I am also conscious that response will be delayed due to IRCC's workload?

Apologies if someone has already asked something similar. Your response is highly appreciated

Clearly IRCC has stated on their website that submit webform if you are unable to travel or unwilling to travel. I guess already you have done so. Besides, they have also stated that submit another webform once you are ready to travel and your COPR has expired. They will share next steps. This communication is clear, crisp and comforting. Simply submitting web forms out of anxiety is not at all good. It will overburden IRCC and also waste your time as well as their time.

Hi all,
Your answers regarding the following two questions are appreciated:
1.Do your COPR & Visa is valid for two months from the date of issuance or they are valid until the expiry date of your medical tests?
2.Considering these unprecedented days, if I as a confirmed Permanent residents plan to land before the expiry date of my COPR then should I raise a webform and inform/ask IRCC regarding this or it's not required?
Thanks in advance for your reply

These evacuation flights are not for COPR holders. It is mentioned that you need at least one year visa for foreign nationals but COPR holders have only one time visa valid for next 4-6 months. Please correct if i misinterpreted.

Yes, you are correct but someone can consult with Air India if they are taking CoPR holders whats the harm.
