    COPR and coronavirus

    It's either a pink sticker or a green sticker. It's random but can't say if there's any bias or not. Maybe they are more likely to test people from certain countries. I am from India, and I think there were cases of people trying to present fake vaccine certificates/test reports at some point...

    COPR and coronavirus

    Arrived in Canada on 28th Feb as a PR. Wanted to share my journey if it helps others. Although, I am already forgetting some specifics here and there. Had a negative PCR test within 72 hours of my connecting flight (Delhi-Dubai-Toronto). Flight check-in asked me to show the negative test...

    COPR and coronavirus

    The article is worded a bit weirdly - Fully-vaccinated travellers have been getting randomly selected for arrival testing for a while now. Based on what I have read online (from travellers and students) a significant number of people were being randomly selected to get a test on arrival. Not...

    COPR and coronavirus

    As per the guidelines, shared living spaces are not acceptable. Can't really stay inside a private room for up to 14 days (worst-case scenario) without the need to cook, for example. Plus, the place I booked specified it's not available for quarantine. It has at least one more room that they...

    COPR and coronavirus

    Oh, I haven't arrived yet. I booked my airbnb because I was getting a reasonable price. I then started looking into all the travel requirements to start preparing. But, that's when I saw that I need to have a quarantine plan and submit it to them through the app. My airbnb does not allow for...

    COPR and coronavirus

    Just a warning/heads-up to everyone here from someone who was stupid enough to not read details carefully. I read the part about fully-vaccinated people being exempt from quarantine. But didn't read on further, in a different section, where it was mentioned that they still need to have a...

    COPR and coronavirus

    Not sure if this helps anyone or not, but sharing some details from my process here just in case - First CoPR Expired: 18-04-2020 Received Re-Medical Request: 05-01-2021 Completed Re-Medical: 24-02-2021 Received Authorization Letter (to travel): 19-03-2021 Soon after that, flights were banned...

    COPR and coronavirus

    @Ngc I don't have the actual document. They only changed my status online but I haven't received a new CoPR nor a request to get a new visa on my passport. I only have the expired documents and authorization letter which can't be used to travel.

    COPR and coronavirus

    Ok, thanks for the clarification. Will try to find a different way to contact them since I got my re-meds done in January but never received the "Still Interested" email.

    COPR and coronavirus

    @CCYAN How do you inform them other than the webform? I keep reading how people got some UM/UE emails, got their re-medicals and were supposed to reply back to those emails after they got their re-medicals. I got a re-medical request back in January but never received any email asking me to let...

    COPR and coronavirus

    @Canadianblood - I don't have the actual document. They only changed my status online but I haven't received a new CoPR nor a request to get a new visa on my passport. Hopefully, I am not missing something? My first application/submission was handled by representatives, so, it is possible I am...

    COPR and coronavirus

    Been 7/8 months since re-medical. ~5 months since travel authorization letter expired. Have ~4 months before the new CoPR expires. Haven't received any other communication since. Hopefully, things get sorted out properly for everyone waiting.

    COPR and coronavirus

    Original CoPR expired - 18th April 2020 Got an option for re-medicals earlier this year, got them done and CoPR details were updated on the online portal soon after, in March 2021, with an expiration set in 2022. Got an authorization letter to travel as well, but couldn't because flights from...
