Hi everyone.
I got the "do you still want to immigrate to Canada" mail. I replied positively to it.
Later I realised that my daughter's passport is getting expired on Feb 2022. that means keeping the 6-month validity in mind, we have to travel before August.
Now i gave them the confirmation to send remedical request.
And as we all know , their response is delayed.
Now am worried that by the time medical is done & ppr request is sent and then they courier our passports back to us, it wil take a lot of time.
And her pp wil not be valid for 6months then.
Am I overthinking? or do you think that maybe they will "re-assess" our details and will tell us what to do regarding her pp.

Guys. I know a lot of people get annoyed by the fact that anyone who resides in the US can actually go to the border and activate their PR as opposed to those who are somewhere else. I am from EU and my Copr expires in 2 weeks. I thought I would take my chances and do everything I could legally do to not let my Copr expire. I flew to Mexico and spent 14 days there. I couldn't fly to the US directly because the US restricts flying from the Schengen area. After 14 days in Mexico, I flew to California where I bought a car and drove to the US/Canada border. I could rent a car also but I thought I might as well buy it as I would need a car in Canada from the very beginning. I wouldn't have to pay tax on it as it's in the goods to follow list. Today I crossed the border. First exported my car out of the US and then drove up to the Canadian side. Activated my PR, imported the car and went away to a quarantine place where I am at now. It was kinda complicated but I was really fed up with waiting and waiting. I wanted to move on with my life. I am happy I did it and am finally a Permanent Resident of Canada. To anyone who is able to do what I did: just do it. Do not wait. It's doable, it costs more money but hey, the wait is finally over!
No family in Canada. No job offer. Not except in any way. COPR issued November 2020

Looks like there's a ghost update on my profile finally! Got the "Still interested in immigrating?" email on March 29, replied the same day. Today my profile says "in progress" and all of the old dates for medical etc are now gone.

No email notifications or any other communications.

Try to be patient guys. Looks like it's taking them 20+ days to work through our responses and follow up.

May be I will be wrong in this but when I fill the survey on this sue mail.I received DO YOU STILL WANT TO IMMIGRATE email after a week.so there is nothing wrong in survey.I hope it will be helpful.
What sue mail? When did I talk about survey? Why are you quoting me? What are you talking about?

Hi, my CoPR expired in March 2021 (issued December 2020, 18 months after applying lol). Anyone in my boat and any updates from the IRCC? And what is your plan of action?

Anybody here post march 2020 copr expired / expiring have raised webform ? what reply you got?
Feb 2021 expiry. Sent 3 webforms out, all generic response saying to checkout their website. They don't even bother to answer any questions. Quite sad how the government is handling this.

I have raised couple of requests through web form last year upon expiring of my COPR. Subsequently in Jan this year they have extended my Medicals and sent me PPR early this month. My passport got stamped again with the visa with latest expiry and also got the revised COPR.

Personal View - Post 18 March CoPR holders are not allowed to travel ( might be few exceptions like family reunification etc). So if your CoPR has expired OR is about to expire, the logical thing would be to inform IRCC of your CoPR status and on your inability to travel owing to COVID situation. There is nothing more than this I think you can do. again strictly a personal view :)
