COPR and coronavirus

[ruka]

Hello everyone !

We got our PR visa before 18th March, 2020 and it got expired in September, 2020. Now we got the e-mail "Do you still want to immigrate to Canada" and we replied positively. Soon, our profile was updated and we are now asked to re-do our medicals.

Now we (me, my husband and our baby - 5 yr) are in dilemma how to get the medicals in 30 days as in India situation is not good and we are really skeptical to go to hospital and also lockdowns are being imposed (we stay in Haryana and will be going for medicals in Delhi).

Should we send mail to IRCC asking for some more time to get the medicals done. We do not want to loose our chance and are set to go as soon as sitaution stabilizes. Please suggest us.

Thanks

Yes , send a reply to the mail. One of my friends did and got it changed for 90 days. That was not because of covid but for his personal reasons

I don't think no one can say that for sure.

What's the validity of your current medicals?

If they have expired or are about to expire (in around 2-3 months), there are chances they may ask you for remedicals.. These chances increase when it has been 4-6 months since your medicals expired..

I'd say wait.. With lockdowns in place, are you able to take medical exams ?

My visa was valid till 23 july,2020.that means same with the medicals also.But till now no redo medicals request from ircc.

Did you look at how long it took for other people's VO to send them medical after status of their application changed from approved to submitted?

If your wait time is out of the ordinary; you can email your VO, reach IRCC through social media, email the ircc strange email you got mail from, or submit a web form.

We are in the same boat,the delayed May be coz of suspension of flights from India or increased cases in India.

You have to be patient man. Based on other people's testimonies, it will take between 20 to 40 days before they send the request for medical visit. It doesn't matter what your profile says now. You will receive a request once they process and update your case. Until then, we have to wait patiently.

I recently got the email saying are you still interested in immigrating to Canada.

Will I get 30 days to do the medicals or 90? I would prefer if it were 90 due to personal reasons. Can I request them for giving me 90 days?

Does anyone know how long is the new COPR and PR Visa validity? Will it be one year from the medicals.

Oh Gosh, back to square 1.
what about their own email address?
If you could please share what you asked in your webform?

Their email adress:

ABDBIIMMIGRATION@international.gc.ca

But they just ask to send webforms instead:

‘Dear Sir/Madam,

This is in response to your recent email enquiry.

Please provide us with your file number and passport number using the IRCC web form: https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/case-cas-eng.aspx?mission=abu dhabi&_ga=1.68913873.1703483113.1416458348

In my case I was just asking how long it would take to reissue a new copr considering that i plan to move by the end of summer and that i have already passed my remeds in January. It has been more than 3months now..

From India| Pre March 18 2020 COPR |

We got our request for re-medicals on March 19th 2021 and we (me, wife and 4yr old son) did our re-medicals on March 23rd 2021. Till now we haven't got any update in our GC account. It still shows "reviewing your medical exam". Is this normal?

- For my son they had sent us to developmental expert on same day and they have mentioned "probable ASD" in report.
- Hospital has confirmed they have uploaded the reports when we contacted them after a week.

Our original COPR was approved before March 18th 2020 and it got expired on July 2020. We did our re-medicals from Trivandrum , India.

Are you sure though?

Not sure, but ive read in this forum usually at the port of entry they see your OLD COPR and issue a new one to you.

Hello everyone,

I have recently received my COPR which expires on 4th Jan 2022, but since we cannot travel right now to Canada and IRCC says they will contact us for further steps, has anyone heard regarding what these steps are and how we can travel before our COPR expires?

What are the other options that we can use to travel to Canada as soon as possible and get exempted from travel restrictions. Will a job offer letter work here somehow?

If anyone is in the same situation or is aware of what should be done in such situation, can you please help me?

Thanks
