Hello everyone,

My COPR expired this September, but the AL has been issued for travel till 31 Jan. I have 2 questions:
1. Can I book flights with layover @Frankfurt/London? They are cheaper than direct flights. Do you think immigration authorities in Europe may not understand ALs given that COPR and Visa would be of expired date?
2. My city of destination is Toronto. Can I land in Vancouver instead. I took express entry route for COPR.

Thanks!

The case everyone is talking about that's 2 years old AOR case. If you review your GCMS notes, criminality checks (registered based on your PCC) are valid for 2 years as a part of the internal check by a case officer.

In his case, the date of criminality check has been expired, and this is one of the exception case who has been asked for new PCC.

You guys should not apply all scenarios to "your" application. Every application is unique and treated accordingly.

Hope this helps.

hi @13nitinsharma ,slightly off topic, can we expect for a request for a re-PCC before the PPR is issued. India PCC was issued on Nov,2019 and still awaiting a final decision from IRCC.

Do you belong to essential services category or any special circumstances?

My CoPR Expired in July and proactively sent all details in August. Still waiting to hear anything from IRCC. @13nitinsharma what do you think is happening? How are they picking cases to process?

Hey Folks,

Checked my profile just now,

Current status used to be "Submitted" with counterfoil numbers vanished and background check, Final decision in progress, medicals passed on 24-Nov-2020.

Primary VO: CPC-Ottawa

Ghost Update (GU):

Final decision: 15-Dec-2020, Approved.

Counterfoils: I can see both old and new counterfoil details now.

Old ones expired on 07-May-2020
New ones valid up until 18-Nov-2021.

Some of my favorite quotes to lift your spirits:

"WHEN THE WORLD SAYS "GIVE UP", HOPE WHISPERS,
"TRY IT ONE MORE TIME".

SOMETIMES YOU "WIN",
SOMETIMES YOU "LEARN".

Awaiting AL/PPR,,, Will keep you updated,,,

Same like yours (received via online account),,,as far as the time line is concerned my profile status changed from "Approved" to "Action Required" on 09-Nov and changed back to "Approved" on 16-Dec (37 days). Not yet received the AL!

Hope this helps with some timeline analysis,,,

Good luck :)

Please consider to travel.

The mail says "If you answer 'no', it may not be possible to provide you with any options for travel to Canada in the foreseeable future due to the current travel restrictions."

What would be the experts opinion on this kind of an email? Reply to it or not?

I know people are telling you not to risk layover and I am racking my brain trying to understand what is wrong with having a layover. Your AL/COPR/visa are all legal documents that the airline/immigration/customs have to accept. Yes expired but the AL clarifies things and it is the responsibility of airline/immigration to keep up to date with changes to any immigration rule and even if they need to clarify anything, it's a quick call or a visit to IATA or other relevant website to verify/clarify any information

I live in a country where layover is a MUST. There are no direct flights to Canada so when I am ready to travel, I will be having one or two layovers before arriving Canada.

No I don't fall into essential ones. But I do show letter from my employer.
