Yeah, I know this is really frustrating. My US visa is about to expire. Quick questions: when did your medical expire originally? Did they email you about the extension before or after the original expiration date? My medical expired last December (together with COPR) but haven't been contacted...

Congrats! May I ask how long do you think it typically takes between COPR expiration and being contacted by IRCC? The over 10 months in your case seems really long and I am not sure if I can wait that long. Thanks.

Good for you. I didn't even get that email.

"Your call cannot be completed as dialed."... Yeah, I realize it's for people in Canada only.

Thanks! But how exactly do I talk to an agent?

Yes, it's after March 18 but I live in the US and they told me before that I could come to settle.

I sent a web form telling them my COPR expired and I am now ready to travel so please extend my COPR (in a very polite way) but they did nothing to initiate the extension. Instead, they just sent a generic reply that referred me to their official website...

Thanks! It's really great that your medical was extended for one year (in your next post). I hope they are also this nice to me.

Has anyone ever failed their remedical? Maybe I am a wee bit paranoid but the prospect of remedical got me worried.

Hi Raina, Did you mean there are 9 months between your original medical's expiration and the remedical request? How long do you think others get? I am struggling with this because my medical expired last December. Thanks.

Hi, may I ask how many months after your medicals expired were you contacted to redo medical? Mine expired last December and still haven't been contacted yet. Thanks.

I think starting from last July or August you are no longer allowed to do soft landing.

How long before my intended travel date should I contact them for the COPR extension? Thanks!

Can you post the content of that email? My COPR and medical expire today and I'm trying to time my entry so I don't need to retake my medical. Thanks!

From my personal experience, I think the return label's expiration date is irrelevant. I went through a lot of trouble suspecting my original return label wouldn't work and getting them to let me send a new one, only to receive my documents in the original return label months after submission.

Hi guys, I am a bit confused about how the 6 months grace medical is enforced. Say my grace period ends next June. Does that mean that I won't need to redo medical as long as I submit the ready to travel form by that time OR enter Canada by that time? Thanks!

Where did you read about this 6 months period? Thanks.

I read people with expiring/expired COPRs mention that our medicals will be valid for a grace period of 6 months past the usual 12 months due to COVID but I cannot independently verify this. Does anyone have a source? Thanks.

Awesome info! Would you mind posting a link to the source (about the 6 months grace period)? Thanks.

Alas, thanks.
