I just hope countries aren't opening too soon and just causing us to go through this all over again. Some states in US are opening up, but where I live in NJ, we are still seeing 3000 new positive cases per day! It's going downward, but very slowly.
I wouldn't ask for an extension yet...just alert them of the situation. It is completely impossible to even plan a move right now with all the restrictions.
No, I have until Sept. 9th. I am in NJ (one of the hardest hit states) and it is just not possible at the moment to go through a move. I will contact them shortly and hope for an extension.
I can't unfortunately. I have DACA and I will be banned from the US for 10 years when I leave. I have a few months still before my COPR expires, so I haven't asked for an extension yet.
I'm surprised they aren't being more understanding. Immigrating at this time is going to be so much more difficult with so many things closing and limited supplies.
in the package & shipment details section there is a box you can check that says 'include return label' and it will generate the return label for you. It makes the process very simple.
Hopefully it all went ok. I just received my COPR back. I didn't need to send a passport; just a copy of my passport and the photos. It was a really quick turnaround.
I had a really quick turnaround:
My photos + copy of passport arrived Tuesday 1-28-20. I checked today and CIC profile updated with application approved, and I should receive the return package tomorrow based on tracking information (1-31-2020). I used FedEx from NJ to Ottawa.
It's only necessary to explain to Canada about the reason for the overstay if the status you are applying for is temporary - such as a student visa. Since you've overstayed in a previous country, Canada will be concerned that you will overstay a second time. However, if you apply for Permanent...
I am a Visa overstay in the US. I currently have DACA, so I do have some status. I was upfront with my status during my application, and received PPR a few weeks ago.
I just sent mine with with no issues yesterday (and it was signed for today) using FedEX. Did you make an online account with FedEx?
I was able to do a commercial invoice by in the packaging & shipment detail section:
package contents - documents
document description - immigration papers...
