COPR and coronavirus

[CNP]

Hello folks,
Is it worthwhile to wait for re-medical request from IRCC or do an upfront medical (after responding to the ultimatum email)? Will submitting an upfront medical report shorten the waiting time to receive PPR for expired COPR holders.

The mail clearly says to not to do an upfront medical as it may delay the process. Section pasted below -

Important: Do not do an up-front medical examination. Completing a new medical examination before IRCC asks you to will delay processing, and may lead to you spending more money to do a new one later on.

Hello CNP,

Is there a particular pattern of their updates after the ultimatum email?
I replied to the email on 8th Sep 21 (Same day) and my file went to processing on 29th Sep 21. My medicals are expiring in Nov 21.

So I am a bit confused...some people already got medical request after they replied on the day I replied...some people got it after a month or so...some are even waiting from last 6months..
And some are waiting for a very long time even after their medicals got done..

what are your thought?

Even I am wondering the same. On what basis are they responding to applicants. Is it based on country of citizenship, current location, type of application (FSW/PNP outland/inland single applicant/ multiple members attached to the principal applicant), pre/post-March expired COPR etc... or some other assessment criteria. Trying to understand their response trend.

Yeah almost seems random. Maybe it's VO based and vaccination rates? I've seen quite a few people get the "Do you still want to immigrate" email after me and still get an update before me. I haven't received an application update or re-medical yet. So getting the email earlier doesn't seem to mean much.

For those that received remedical requests, did anyone receive it without their application being updated first? Also it seems like updates are only on Tuesday now? Or did anybody receive updates outside of Tuesday?

I happened to talk to an IRCC agent just now. Although my file is still in reprocessing stage, everything else except Medical’s seems to be verified. The agent says I may or may not receive a remedical request. Still unsure on what grounds are they reassessing most applications. Well let’s hope for the best for all!!!

Hello all, I am working in the US with an H1B visa and I have received my COPR today. I wanted to check if the land borders are open to travel back to the USA after validating the COPR. Ideally, I would like to do this as a day trip in a car, but not sure if this is still an option because of the Covid restrictions.

Please provide your thoughts.
TIA.
