Guys here is our story.. pls see if you can help us.
I came to Canada on WP with my wife in 2017. We had a baby in 2018. In 2019 February my wife and child went to India on a vacation.

[Self: Inland - Spouse: Was in India - Child: Canadian born.]

Meanwhile, I cleared IELTS in June 2019 and received invite in September 2019.

Category : CEC
AOR on : 18-October-2019
MED and RCMP: done upfront
PPR: 10-March-2020.

I sent my passport to CPC Ottawa and got CoPR on 4-May-2020.

But, my wife couldn’t submit her passport in India due to Covid-19 VFS closures.

When I asked IRCC about my landing process, they said it’s not possible until all of the applicants get their CoPR. My CoPR also got expired on 12th October 2020.

Then, I requested for a Travel Authorization letter for Family Reunification from IRCC and brought my wife and child from India to Canada in February 2021. (She has a 10 yr validity visitor visa on her passport. So she can stay only till this August (6months) in Canada)

We then updated my wife’s address on our file through WebForm as well as by calling IRCC.

after that we keep calling IRCC for our CoPR.
And theykeep saying:
“you no need to do anything now.”
“Everything looks fine in your file.
“Your MED also got updated on April 20th which means someone is looking into your application.
“Your file is on queue..”
“your Work Permit has validity upto January 2022. so your file is not an urgent category.”
“Due to Covid processing gets delayed”
“Only urgent files we are prioritizing now.”
“You can extend your wife’s stay by applying a Visitor record or an open WP. She doesn’t have to get out of Canada”
“You also can apply for a bridging work permit from this September”… “ blah blah blah.. “

recently I heard from our HR department that once my WP expires, they will not consider any Bridging Work Permit and all. I must go back to India and can come to Canada once I get my PR.

So.. this is all about our current situation guys. Kidnly share your friendly advises. Thanks in advance!

Hi May i know what is your current status. My spouse case also very much similar.
Our story continued and ended like this: Since my wife came as a visitor (based on the stamping in her passport) in feb 2021 she was legally allowed to stay only up to August (6 months). So we have applied an open work permit on July’21. Then they have asked my wife to do her Medicals here in Canada. And then within two weeks she got her open work permit approved. And then on September 8th We got the CoPR for both of us.

However, still I don’t know if we’d have received our CoPR in February or March 2021 itself - in case if she’d have done her remedicals in February 2021 itself (before coming to Canada or even after visiting Canada).
