Hello everyone, our CoPRs had expired last September 2020 and this forum/thread was very helpful. Reading the posts on here gave me an idea of the timeline to expect for our CoPR renewal. Posting my experience and dates:
Note : I never received an email from IRCC asking me if I still wanted to come to Canada and I had to submit webforms to get the ball rolling.
February 2021 : Submitted webform informing IRCC that my family and I are ready to move permanently to Canada.
No Reply for weeks
March 2021 : Raised another webform informing IRCC that my family and I are ready to move permanently to Canada
April 7th 2021 : Received a request letter in my IRCC account notifying me that I should retake my medical test (Weirdly, they didn't include my wife, just me)
April 12th 2021 : Received a request letter notifying me to provide new passport details for my wife since her passport had expired
April 14th 2021 : Medical Test results sent to IRCC
May 11th 2021 : IRCC asked my wife to retake her medical test
May 18th 2021 : Wife's medical test results sent to IRCC
June 7th 2021 : IRCC asked me to send our passports
June 14th 2021 : Sent our passports to IRCC (CPC-Ottawa)
June 25th 2021 : Noticed an update on my IRCC account showing renewed CoPR counterfoils with new numbers and expiration dates (April 2022)
June 29th 2021 : IRCC tendered our passports to FedEx using the shipping label I provided.
July 2nd 2021 : FedEx returned my passports to IRCC since the commercial invoice was missing. I tried submitting this to FedEx via fax and email but it was useless.
July 5th 2021 : Raised a webform notifying IRCC that our passports had been returned and asked them to tell us the next steps.
July 12th 2021 : Raised another webform notifying IRCC that our passports had been returned. No reply yet
July 16th 2021 : Received an email from CPC Ottawa informing me that our passports had been returned and asked me to send new shipping labels and new commercial invoice. I purchased the fastest (most expensive) shipping option from FedEx and sent CPC Ottawa the shipping labels & commercial invoice.
Aug 4th 2021 : No email from IRCC but the FedEx Tracking System sent me an email notifying me that our passports had been received from CPC Ottawa.
Aug 5th 2021 : Received passports finally
Looking back, this was a painfully slow process and we were super stressed when our passports had been returned. The only suggestion I can give is to stay calm and not get stressed. Cheers and good luck to everyone!
