Can someone tell me why the F is IRCC sending ITAs with a CRS score threshold of 75 when there are thousands of expired COPR holders who are waiting God knows what for a simple authorization letter?

Don't worry you gonna hear from IRCC soon as new travel measures are put in place after 22 February 2021. IRCC is having a long vision as processing of these ITAs gonna take another 1 year or so. The next couple of months should be dedicated to CoPR holders (expired or valid)

Just try to follow up with your VO for processing of your application.

Hi
I have a small query, my medical expired on 23rd August 2020 and I still have not heard from them, so should I proceed with getting upfront medicals or should I wait?

Hi
Even my Copr expired on June 2020 and medical on August 2020. I have not got any updates yet. I called thrice to ircc asking whether I can get an upfront medical. But they said is to wait and be patient. Hoping to hear something soon. My VO is New Delhi. What about yours?

As of now IRCC will be contacting the expired CoPR holders. Once they contact you after that you can follow up with them regarding your CoPR extension or AL.

If you are post 18th March case then you should contact your Visa Office regarding your readiness of travel with proofs such as proposed quarantine stay and all. Don't book anything but give them your idea about your plans for settlement in Canada.

PS: There is a person in this thread (post 18th March) who got AL based on the job offer in Canada.

Hi,

I have a valid COPR issued after March 2020, and a valid America visit visa. Now I am supposed to visit America to visit my brother in late February for a week, can I fly from there to Canada to permanently settle?

I am asking because on https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/wizard-start it says:

"from the United States (including connections, so long as you enter Canada from the U.S.)"

It sounds possible to me unless ircc requires those coming from the states to hold a US residence document?

If you have a job offer and is in exempted list, they do not need AL to travel. Keep your work related paper work ready.
