Hello - I received a request to submit my passport and the passports of my dependents (spouse and child). I am in India and will be submitting through VFS. It looks like I need to prepare 3 separate packages, one each for myself, spouse, and child. Each VFS application asks for the IRCC letter. However, the letter is only addressed to me. Could some one please confirm if three different packages need to be submitted? Thank you!

One package per applicant. btw, your signature needs a change of year from 2021 to 2022

Thank you for the quick response! So just to confirm this means 3 different packages: one for me as the principal applicant and 2 for my dependents (spouse and child)?
Just corrected the year

I need all your advice please

one of my dependants has a valid medical because it was done in September 2021 for the study permit.

when they have sent the forms, they have asked for all to do the meds. Hes not in town for medicals.

spoke to the clinic n they say they cannot re-upload the last medicals. Its done just once.

will sending the upfront medical reports through webform help in this case or does he have to repeat the medicals.

@legalfalcon, your advise would be highly appreciated.

The medicals have to be redone since they will expire soon and there will not be much time left to issue a COPR/PR Visa. IF you cannot meet the time frame, you can seek an extension.

Hello @legalfalcon ,

I've requested for 3rd remed on 12th January and cleared on 31st January.

All groups were with me at the hospital to get remeds all got PPR except my self.

Any idea what would bothering to my application?

Looking forward to hearing from you soon,

Regards.

Each application is processed on its own merits.

If your meds have passed you can follow up with IRCC via webform or call.

Its just 10 days since your medical approvals, some get in a fortnight or less while some in months. We can see it in this discussion thread itself. Need not be anything bothering your application just because others already got their PPR. Just stay positive would be my sincere request.
all the best.

I really dont think there’s any issue with family members doing the meds in diff countries. At the end of the day, all approved clinics will report to the same ircc. Just my two cents

Hey Guys,
I just got my "Ready for Visa" email after 28 months!
This is what it says at the bottom of the email:

Until further notice, most foreign nationals cannot travel to Canada if their valid CoPR and PRV was issued after March 18, 2020, unless they are exempt from the travel restrictions.

We have issued your documents so that when the restrictions are lifted, you will have your documents ready to travel to Canada.

Please keep your documents in a safe space.

You won’t be allowed to board your flight to Canada at this time.

It is your responsibility to keep yourself informed of any changes to the travel restrictions to Canada by going to Find out if you can travel to Canadahttps://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/wizard-start






Can I not enter Canada???
When I check it looks like I can. I'm confused.

First of all congratulations.
Second, everyone with a valid COPR is able to enter the country now, I dont think there is any new update to this. This could be an default mail text you have received ( I could be mistaken). Does the COPR issued have new validity dates?

Hi All,

NEED YOUT URGENT HELP and SUGGESTION

My COPR is valid till 28th Feb 2022 but due to some work related reasons I did not planned my travel earlier and now due to multiple restrictions there are very less flight options from my home country (India) to Canada which is costing me a lot to book flight tickets. However I booked a flight via Amsterdam but later I came to know that I can not transit through Amsterdam due to COVID restrictions.

Can any one suggest me what will happen if I am not able to travel before my COPR expires? will IRCC consider my case for extension on there own?
Tried contacting IRCC through web form but did not got exact answers for my query.... Can you guys suggest me something?

Also is there any way I can connect with IRCC on call from India?

Thanks a lot for your help

Best case scenario is they they do extend your COPR but you would still be waiting for months not knowing and at the back of the queue.
I would think that IRCC will not consider work related reasons as a valid excuse for not landing earlier. I believe they will only extend your COPR if you weren't given chance to travel due to COVID restrictions.
The accompanying guidance that comes with the COPRs states clearly that they cannot be extended.
It might cost a lot but I would definitely pay out to fly before they expire if I were you.
You have come too far in the process to risk not travelling.
