Even the unvaccinated travelers are allowed to enter Canada so I personally think vaccination has nothing to do with processing of our files. Here we have many friends who are waiting for more than 3 months after re-medical and yet to receive any update. Just couple of hours back, I saw to post in Facebook group where someone said she received PPR this week but she passed re-medical back in July.

If you check Canada.ca webpage in medical exam section, it clearly states : The panel physician may offer you a Government of Canada-accepted COVID-19 vaccine if it is available. Vaccination is completely voluntary and is not required as part of your exam.
Thank you so much for your reply ;)

Hi,

I received my passport submission request today. It asks to prepare certain documents one of which is " The height and Eye color of principal Applicant..".

Just wanted to check if I should write this on a plane paper and put it in the docket with the rest of the documents or is there a separate form in which we need to put this information.

Fear another lockdown for Canada is coming up..
I am a US citizen, received PPR and awaiting COPR. We are worried about another closure...do you think it's possible to travel to Canada now, have our COPR mailed to us by family once it arrives, and land inside Canada? We are FSW Outland.

Congratulations!! Didn`t they send you Appendix B form attached with PPR mail? You need to fill Applicants, Spouse & dependent child info such as name, DOB, Marital status, Gender, passport number, date of expiry, Height, Eye colour along with your complete contact info and send all necessary relevant document to VAC.

They are even lifting the ban on international travel from the 10 countries in Africa starting 18th Dec so hopefully there won`t be another complete restriction soon.

hi guys i am a COPR holder and i tried to travel last saturday to canada from egypt but the airline (swiss) wouldn't let me travel due to the dec 1st restrictions application in 10 African countries including Egypt where I currently reside. do you think this company will be able to refund me? I had made the reservation well before the release of the December 1st restriction. Do you also think that Canada will reopen its borders with Egypt soon?
Here comes the good news for you. They are lifting the restriction from today. You can make your travel plan again. Good luck.

Status updated from `in process` to `Decision made` today. I sent passport on 13th Dec and IRCC received that on 15th Dec. Hopefully I will receive passport & new COPR by this week end. VFS global tracking site is down from Thursday & am not able to track passport update.

I got passport request via an update in my cic profile. Request letter has appendix A but it doesn't have Appendix B. Not sure what needs to be done but I read in couple of threads that some people missed sending this information altogether but still didn't face any issues in getting copr.

hi, as per my knowledge you need the COPR doc to enter Canada. That is your travel entry doc.

Technically as a US citizen you have no restrictions to enter Canada anytime. Not sure what immigration rules apply to ur situation.
