Same case as you .Currently in US and saw yesterday that my profile was updated and new counterfoil is added with expiry date 2021/06/16 but no AL sent. I am confused how this is going to work now.
Have you done re-medical, what was your original expiry date?

Anybody in this group currently residing in Hyderabad/Anywhere in India who recently(December 2020) received a Express Entry PPR ?

I'm actually looking for information on how to book appointment and submit my passport to the VFS, given the new guidelines.

I couldn't find details on the VFS website. It mostly talks about Biometric appointments on the website.
Hi did you receive ur PPR? could you share ur timelines plz?
Also what is ur VO?

Is there anything special happened in your profile such as adding of spouse, some change in address or contact no, principal applicant landed first?

No Changes in profile, I am a Single applicant with expired CoPR and haven't landed yet.

Has anyone been able to contact NDVO to understand the status of their application? How has your experience been? I called up IRCC Canada and they said that my file and the documents are with NDVO and that I should contact them if I want more info. What number should I be calling?

Don't think you will get your application status by calling NDVO, instead you will get a generic response? Order GCMS notes if you want to know exact status of your application.

Guys, I have received an AL for CoPR extension (Valid till 3rd Feb 2021) and planning to travel to Canada on 25th December. For ArriveCan app, I have a small query. In travel exempt status, what category should I choose? Is it cross border services?
Also, is Covid-19 rt-pcr test compulsory for travel from Pune-Delhi-Toronto? Actually the internet is flooded with conflicting information. Thank You!
