Hello,
I have just returned from sending in our application, and now I have a question. We are both currently students in Belgium, and our exams wont be over until the end of June. In the unlikely chance that our application is accepted and the visa is given in less than 8 months, what is the time limit to land in Canada? I have heard it's one year after the medicals have been given in, is that true? I am slightly worried because everyone seems to have landed a few days to 2 weeks after they received their visa, but we just can't leave until our semester ends.
Thanks,
Deanne

It is true. The COPR will be valid to the earliest between the medical or passport expiry dates
