Hi guys, I've just got the AL (email) as below:

As your application for permanent residence was approved on or before March 18, 2020, you are exempt from the travel restrictions.
As your CoPR and PR visa expired on 2020/07/29, we have extended their validity until 1/31/2021.
At this time,, we are not printing and mailing new CoPRs or PR visa counterfoils we are n. For your travel to Canada, you will need to:
· bring this letter, along with your original CoPR and PR visa
· show it to the airline as proof that you are exempt from the travel restriction and that the validity of your expired CoPR and PR visa have in fact been extended.
· use this letter before 2021/01/31


In the same day a new counterfoil is added in my IRCC account which is valid until 31 Jan 2021.

I'm gonna need your help for my two following questions:

1. Actually my COPR and PR visa expired on Sep 09 2020 ( not Jul 29 2020 as stated in the AL). Is there any problem using this AL to travel if the expiry date is not correct ? Should I contact IRCC about this ( to extend the validity of the AL) ?

2. It is clearly stated in the AL email that IRCC won't issue PPR or new COPR to me anymore. However, right after that I received a new counterfoil in my IRCC account which is valid until 31 Jan 2021, does that mean PPR is coming ?

Many thanks, guys.
1. Raise a webform and inform CIC about this date issue.

2.Most likely, you will receive an authorization letter to travel.

There was someone who did upfront medicals and completed his landing. cant find the post but If you’re reading this, please dm.

@13nitinsharma - my wife did upfront medicals and today we got an email with the same UCI but a new App No. Is that the usual process?

Did you receive re-meds? If yes, when did you submit it
I did remeds on 5th December 2020 after getting regret email for remeds. Raised webform on 7th December 2020 with medical infosheet. Surprisingly got the update on CIC account with new CoPR when I am still waiting for response of my raised webform.


In between i also sent webform to NDVO with remeds sheet and one follow up email to RR team (who sent me the regret email for medicals).

////Need Help/////

Hi Guys,

IRCC asked me below question for granting my wife an Authorization Letter(AL).

“ Do you have a plan to quarantine for 14 days in Canada? Important: The Government of Canada cannot not make arrangements for, or pay for, quarantine arrangements”

Do I need to book a place and send it with my tentative dates of travel or should I just inform them about the place and book when AL is provided?

1. Did people got AL just after showing the details of the place and booking it later on?
2. Did people got AL by actually booking the place and sending the booking confirmation receipt?

What are the experiences of the people here?

As I already have a leased apartment on my name but it is a small 1 bed room with no separate bathroom or kitchen. Can I use it as quarantine place?

What do you guys suggest?

Thank you

I see the new CoPR updated directly and old one updated to invalid. It is updated in around 2 weeks from the date of my remeds. Not sure if my raised webforms with remeds are looked at yet as I have not received acknowledgment of them as of today.

Medicals passed date is still showing the old date but it does not matter now as there is new CoPR issued.

If your VO is not New Delhi then there is no point of raising the webform to them. Also I recently attended Planning for Canada sessions which were advised by NDVO.
