COPR and coronavirus

[pavie24]

Hi Everyone,

I got an email from IRCC today.

Subject Line: Do you still want to immigrate to Canada?

"Your permanent resident (PR) visa has expired. If you are still interested in coming to Canada to become a permanent resident, your action is required immediately.

If you do not respond as requested in this letter, your application for permanent residence will remain closed and you will need to re-apply if you wish to immigrate to Canada in the future."

They sent me a template that says that I am still interested in immigrating to Canada. There was a short form I had to fill with fields for my name, COPR expiry date, country of residence, citizenship and names of dependents - which they asked me to fill and respond back to them on the same email ID within 10 days. I have already replied back to them.

They asked me not to do my re-medicals upfront and wait for their instructions. They mentioned that doing my medicals upfront will delay my processing.

My COPR Expiry Date is Aug 2020. Visa Office is NDVO. I'm a single applicant - EE - FSW.

Hoping to get a remedical request soon.

Hi Guys,

Going to be flying out on 24th after a rollercoaster ride. Got tested positive for COVID 2 weeks back and just got the negative result today.

Just a quick question if anybody can shed some light on it, information has come in that if we provide a positive covid test 14-90 days before travel then we are exempt from the testing on ground and consequently the hotel quarantine.

Has anyone gone through with this? or have any suggestions/ feedback? Going to be flying out on 24th morning from Dubai, if anybody else is on the flight would love to co-ordinate but I think at this point it's wishful thinking

Covid test on airport after landing is mandatory + 3 days hotel quarantine is mandatory. At least at Toronto Pearson Airport. Unless your job qualifies as essential worker.

The wordings seem quite odd. Did they say they are going to close the whole application if you don't travel.?. How's that anyone's fault

Hi Everyone,

I got the below email from IRCC today.

URGENT: IRCC requires your action or response immediately

Please select one of the following two options:

Option 1: Confirm that you plan to travel to Canada before the validity date above. If you choose this option, you will be sent a request to submit your passport (which must be valid until at least the date above) to IRCC for physical reissuance of your CoPR (and your PR visa, if you are a citizen of a visa required country). Your CoPR will be annotated to indicate that it is a replacement for a document issued on or before March 18, 2020. If you select this option, you must use your re-issued CoPR and PR visa before the validity date printed on the new documents expires. If you do not use them before they expire, you will need to submit a new application if you want to immigrate to Canada in the future.

Option 2: Do another medical examination. If you select this option, you will be sent a request to do new medicals (at your own expense) within NINETY (90) calendar days. Your new medicals will be valid for 12 months from the date of your new examination. When we receive your updated medical results, we will assess whether any other information needs to be updated to re-issue your CoPR(s). If you (and your dependants, if applicable) continue to meet all statutory requirements, we will send you a request to submit your passport(s) for physical reissuance of your documents, which you will need to use before they expire.

Can someone who has received similar mail help understand timelines in case I chose Option 1.Also if I understand correctly this is not AL ?

I am pre Mar 2020 COPR which expired in Jun 2020 and Visa Office is NDVO

Thank you!

I got the email from immigration.refugees.and.citizenship.canada@notification.canada.ca and had to reply back with my responses to ircc.in-rroc-corr-ri.ircc@cic.gc.ca.

Yesterday marked the exact date my COPR was approved in 2020. This could be an auto triggered email. Has anyone else recieved something similar?
_________________

If you confirm that you are still interested in immigrating to Canada and that you would like your application to be re-assessed, IRCC will do the following on a one-time exceptional basis:

- Reopen your application and review it to determine whether any additional or updated documents are needed to confirm that you (and your family members, if applicable) still meet the statutory requirements for (a) permanent resident visa(s).
- Send you new medical forms and instructions, and also a request letter if we require more information or updated documents (e.g. valid passport, updated police certificate(s), updated screening forms).
- Review your application to confirm whether you still meet the requirements for a PR visa.
- If you still meet the requirements: re-issue your PR visa(s), which you will need to use before the new expiry date.

If you request that we reopen and re-assess your application IRCC must determine whether you continue to meet the requirements to be issued a Permanent Resident Visa. If you, or your family member(s) do not now meet those requirements (e.g. you are now inadmissible to Canada), your application could be refused.

If you wish to immigrate to Canada in the future, but have not replied to this message, you will need to re-apply for permanent residence, pay the required fees, and meet any requirements in effect at the time of your new application.

If you choose not to have your file re-assessed at this time, and instead you let this permanent residence application remain closed, this decision will not have a negative impact on a new application which you may make in the future.

Anyone here who got their copr expired in may 2020 and still no AL ?

CoPR expired in April 2020.
Still no AL nor any mail from IRCC.
Raised multiple webforms for ready to travel but got generic (unrelated) responses.

 

[JagjyotSingh]

Hi everyone... I got my copr pre 18 March and it got expired in July. I am ready to travel since December 2020 and I have sent multiple web forums ready to travel posts. Most of the time I got generic replies like we ll let you know when a decision is made on your application.
The latest reply which I got today is like this
"Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
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."
Can anybody please tell me is it some kind of progress with my case of is it just another generic reply. Thanks

Same boat @adiljaved88 .
CoPR expired - April 2020
Sent multiple webforms and the got same generic responses as you.
Still waiting to hear from IRCC

Wow…. ``If you do not respond as requested in this letter, your application for permanent residence will remain closed and you will need to re-apply if you wish to immigrate to Canada in the future."

How can this be applicant fault? They close the border, they don’t provide the AL, they don’t respond even after multiple webforms and if we fail to respond then we need to start again from scratch. Hope they will extend your medical & issue you with the AL soon. Goodluck.

Exactly! It's so frustrating. The strange part is that I've been responding to their 4-pt emails and raising so many RTT webforms. The email is worded as if I've been silent for over a year.

Based on my reply they're going to "re-assess my application and determine whether I continue to meet the requirements to be issued a Permanent Resident Visa". This part sounds a bit ominous coz I hope they don't re-evaluate right from the CRS score.

Fingers crossed on getting a medical request soon!
