Thanks for your concern @canuck78
COPR is expiring in another 24 days. Both are taking precautions.

As per the information available on GoC portal, it is not mandatory to have a negative result as long as samples of +ve test were taken more than 10 days ago. Same information has been published in ArriveCAN app as well.

Below text is as is from ArriveCAN app.
________________________________

• Individuals 5 years of age or older are required to provide proof of one of the following, even if they are fully vaccinated, prior to boarding a flight to Canada (with limited exceptions):
• Negative molecular (e.g. PC, NAATs, RT-LAMP) COVID-19 test result on a sample taken no more than 72 hours prior to departure, or
• Positive molecular (e.g. PC, NAATs, RT-LAMP) COVID-19 test result on a sample taken between 10 and 180 days prior to departure.
• All test results must be molecular (e.g. PC, NAATs, RT -LAMP) tests. Antigen tests are not accepted.
• If you do not have proof, you may be subject to a fine or denied boarding/entry to Canada. Certain exceptions apply.
• All travellers must have a suitable quarantine plan for 14 days starting on the day they enter Canada.

You must keep the proof of your COVID-19 test result for 14 days after entering Canada.
I acknowledge that I, or the travellers listed in this submission, will not be allowed to board the flight to Canada if I/we cannot
show proof of a valid COVID-19 test.

Would also look up airline requirement when it comes to covid tests. Hopefully he is vaccinated and boosted. He could be symptomatic which would still lead to denial even if it has been 10 days.

Looking for an advice:
My parents are in the middle east now and my case was transferred to London visa office.

- Does getting my parents to Canada on visitor visa speed up the process? Or conplicate it? Or it has just a minor or no impact?
- Do you recommend normal visitor visa or super visa? (If it is the wrong thread, please point me to the right one)

Thanks!!

Makes sense! He is fully vaccinated but not boosted yet.

Likely won’t have much of an impact. They can still come to Canada if they want to visit.

Hopefully his case is mild. Would assume your mother will also get Covid so you’ll need to take into account that in the next few days she will likely test positive and will need to add 10 days onto her time after positive Covid diagnosis. Even if things go perfectly that is a tight timeframe.

Yes, I understand. Can I submit request to IRCC with all the details to extend the date on COPR?
Should it be before expiry of COPR?

Would probably wait until your mother tests positive and then submit the request and include proof of the positive test with the date of the positive test visible.

Got it! Thanks!
Hypothetically if COPR expires on 3rd can I submit this request on 2nd? a day before, I believe should not be an issue.

Agree that I would contact IRCC before the COPR expires but since it is such a fluid situation contacting IRCC right before expiry date is very reasonable.

Anyone here can help me please?
I know that the expiry date of COPR is tied up to the medical expiry date. But, is such cases that your passport is under COPR process and only couple of days like 3 to 4 days is remained from your medical to be expired. Is there any possibility for the IRCC to extend the COPR expiry date?
Anyone in the same situation or any ideas what will happen? Thanks in advance
