Yes i agree.. but if they dont process applications.. backlogs will just keep piling on..
yes.. it all depends on the pandemic.. hopefully a vaccine will come soon..
True that. Previously PPRs were not being issued I believe due to travel restrictions. But now since they are being issued, I hope further exemptions in travel are on the horizon. As far as the pandemic is concerned, hopefully the new year brings better news.

Good morning,

Just to share the info with you folks...

After PPR I got Oct 19th. I received today passport with COPR valid until March 7th ( expiry of medicals)
Meanwhile, It is clearly mentioned I can not travel until restriction are off, under condition my COPR is still valid.

A new round of wait is starting now ... hope shorter this time.

All the best guys !
Many Congratulations. Did you take your medical test on 7th March Or is it review date of medical by IRCC? They are now issuing PPR /COPR ….hopefully there will be some ease on travel restriction. Good luck.

Exactly true. Not even bothering to reply to our emails, what else kind of work can one expect from Ottawa vo. All this wait and Uncertainty are frustrating . Let's be hopeful that coming weekend will bring good news

In that article it mentions Marco Mendicino will be attending the committee. I searched him on google and he is the Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship. On his website his office email is ircc.minister-ministre.ircc@cic.gc.ca

Maybe we can also send in letters to his email explaining our situations and it might help persuade him to change things for us. We need to be heard and maybe this will help pressure to change things.

I sent an email to him a few days ago. The email you want is ircc.minister-ministre.ircc@cic.gc.ca
The other one you quoted is for his MP duties.
Definitely worth an email though.

Thanks for that, I updated the email on my original post. I will send an email and encourage anybody else reading this to do so too.
I too have sent a mail. This is the auto-reply (with some links to websites after that):

Thank you for your email addressed to the Honourable Marco E.L. Mendicino, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship. Please note that all comments and questions are taken seriously, and although Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) cannot provide a personalized response to every message, we will review and consider all comments received.
