COPR and coronavirus

[Vimalan]

Hi,

I received my letter to redo the medicals & PCC. I'm now residing in UAE, I have lived in 4 countries for more than 6 months. during the initial application, I managed to receive PCC from all four countries. My question is, should I again apply for those countries which I have not visited again after receiving my first CoPR. Say I left the UK in 2013 and never went back, should I need to apply again for UK PCC too?

As long as you haven't gone back and lived in those countries, you don't have to do new ones. Submit the old ones but get a new one for the country you are currently living in

Dear @Welluf2019

Thanks for your reply. I'm a citizen of India, and ever since I got the Initial Visa issued, I haven't travelled outside of UAE. I have got the medicals done and PCC from UAE where I'm currently living. I have the old PCC of the other countries including my home country. So should I presume that I'm good to go?

Hi, for those of you who are going through the process of getting re-medicals to be issued a new copr, once your medicals were submitted and approved did you get a PPR or a request for a PCC? I’m seeing some people posting about PCC and others aren’t.

Yes just type the details in a word or something. Take printout and send it along with the other docs

I have this information on my national ID card so I plan to use a copy of that.

Good day everyone,

I have one question. What is the normal processing time for getting COPR renewed after re-medicals were done? We got our re-medicals done in early March, seems like the process is dragging now.

Same case here. I submitted passport to VFS, Tokyo. They forwarded that to IRCC Manila office. Me & My wife Visa was issued from IRCC Manila while my daughter visa was issued from Hong Kong office.

Congrats. Is the new COPR annotated to show that it is replacing the old one?

Hi Vimalan

You have to submit all the PCCs again. We were in the same situation and raised this with IRCC. They replied that we need to submit updated PCCs again as requested. We did try to reason with them and also mentioned that we have not visited those countries again. We also told them that it is mentioned in the IRCC site too but they pointed to the fact "An officer may ask for it again". Make sure you resubmit the PCCs again and don't take a chance.


This is the below message I received from IRCC.

Thank you for your inquiry. You are required to provide updated police certificate(s) from each country/state where you have resided for at least 6 months, since the age of 18.

I received request to re do medicals and get PCC. Along with this I also received request to send them my passport. It says:

"Passport/Travel Document: Valid passport or travel
document This must be received at this office by: 2021/07/12"

They don't say where should I send them the passport, which address. I am in USA.

Similarly for PCC they say I should send it to their office. What office?

You do not need PCC for the countries that you have not visited again. Just add those PCCs along with your new(current resident country) one and submit to IRCC.

I didn't receive a PCC request yet, though my medicals passed. FYI it took over 40 days since I completed re-meds to reach re-meds passed stage. So some randomness from IRCC.

Guys, do you send back the filled IMM1017 medical webform by webform? Or by email?

I don't know if this answers your question but No. I did not send mine back as I did not believe it's our place to. It's the job of the medical practitioner to share their findings with IRCC not mine.

I did however forward on a copy of my eMedical which showed I had attended my appointment
