COPR and coronavirus

[Welluf2019]

Hi everyone, my CoPR expired Aug 2020 (I was approved pre-March) and I’m going through the process to get it renewed after receiving the “Are you still interested in immigrating to Canada” email on 26th April. I received the Request to redo the medical exam on 20th May. However, my country has recently entered a State of Emergency due to the recent spike in COVID cases. There is only one approved doctor in my whole country who can do the medical exam and it is a 3 hour drive from where I live. It’s also in a high risk COVID area so I’m concerned. I saw some people were able to get an extension for 90 days. Can someone tell me which email I should make this request to? Any help will be appreciated thanks. Also, the VAC and photo studios are closed so I’m worried about the next step if I go ahead with the medical.

Did they send an email with your med request? If they emailed you then you need to go back and read that email because they explain what to do if you cannot complete your meds in 30 days.

Hi guys,

I am nervous as i am planning my trip soon as per my AL that expires on July 19th, any guarantee this will not be rejected by the airlines i am flying with? i believe all they need to see if the AL along with my passport and expired copr (this is what was mentioned in the letter).

Any other steps i should consider before just showing up at the airport?

thank you!

Hi

You shouldn't have a problem. Your AL , expired COPR and current COPR all printed should be fine

Thank you for your response.

They have not sent me the new copr documents, just the new extended date in the email. i will also print the email for their reference.
Clock is ticking and heart is beating fast.

Hi. No worries. A while back, a friend of mine called the airline prior to the date of travel to confirm she was good to go...and she was

It was an automatic email from donotreply@cic.gc.ca to say to check my account for a new message. In the message they say to contact the IRCC office that processed my documents but my VAC is closed at the moment. That’s why I wanted to know if there was a way to contact them about an extension.

AH okay great thanks.

Any idea what were the apps she downloaded? ArriveCan? SwitchHealth? Edeclaration?
These are required prior to departure i believe.

Strange. When I received my remeds, it came as an email to my email address but the form was sent to my GC account.

If I remember correctly she downloaded ArriveCAN. She couldn't book the quarantine hotel from here because they only had one number as contact for booking the hotels and it was always either busy or she was put on hold for hours. But when she arrived Canada, she was able to pay at the hotel. At the time, they had police officers at the airport to enforce hotel quarantine rule

Hi All,
How long is it taking to get new COPR after the re medical are done?Anyone has the approximate timelines?
Thanks

Hey

It depends on a case to case basis. A person in this group got it in 10 days. I got mine in 25 working days but you will definitely get it. Just hang in there.

Hi

is there a reason you keep asking people for the email address IRCC contacted them with?

For the same reason why others or you ask questions in this forum. To get an answer or an update.
