I was looking at the September thread yesterday and someone there said both August and September were deleted...the same person apparently created both and probably accidentally trashed them.

That is correct, I tried to contact the original owner by email but I got no reply back. We created a new one for Sept 2014.

Anyone know if there is any leeway on the medical time? My husbands medical certificate expires in 1 week and still no news from Ottawa

I read somewhere that a VO can allow an extension if the medical is within 15 months. On the CIC site the original bulletin allowing this has been superseded. That doesn't mean this has changed. I am interested too because our medical was done July 8, 2014 and our conditional CoPR allows us until July 31, 2015 to land. Some others have been given exactly 12 months after the medical to land.

Interesting. I too had my medical done on July 8, 2014, but am behind you all as a October 16 applicant. If no extension then it sounds like I could be making a very quick move! 8)

After getting approved for CoPR they will either choose your one year expiration date of your medical exam or the expiration date of your passport as your "land before this date." I received CoPR in April 2015 my medical was done in June 2014 and my passport expiration date is March 2016. They gave me until March 2016 to land.

difference might be because you are from visa exempt country?

Yes I think that is correct as people that do not come from a visa exempt country all seem to have visa/copr expiry that follows the expiry of the medical.

I don't think visa exempt or not matters. My partner is from a visa exempt country and it was medical expiry.

Must be up to the individual VO then as to what expiry they use.

I have been trying to rebuild the August spreadsheet using a template borrowed from another month. I populated using the data in one copy someone on this thread made.

It seems like several of the August applicants are nearing the end of this process. Good luck to all.

Here is the tiny.url link if anyone wants to update or amend their timelines.
