Wait for any update seems to be much longer for us. COPR expired on 1st April20. Raised multiple web forms and received generic replies.
Also opened GCMS notes without any inputs.

Still anyone hanging from April20 and waiting for AL/Remeds?
Hi,
Same for me & my wife. Our CoPR expired 20th April,2020.
We have raised multiple webforms(ready to travel). Haven't even got the 4 pointer mail which everyone has been getting.
Even tried contacting IRCC Delhi on Social Media, but all in vain.
This is very discouraging and depressing for us.
I'm not even sure if we should get our re medicals done proactively. There has been no contact from IRCC whatsoever. Now they are not even responding with their generic replies.
If anyone else is in the same boat or has any solid suggestion for people like us. Please help.

It must be written in the email that you need to go for medicals for further extension if you can not fly before 1st April. Your application will remain open.

Is it a 7pt email?
Yeah, Its a 7 Pointer email and it says that you have to go for re-medical and the application will be open.....

You wanna say that there is no need to reply to the email if I am not ready to travel before mentioned date?

Dear Expert,

The validity of my CoPR had expired in Oct'2020 and I could not travel because of the covid situation around the world.
Recently I got any email from IRCC to confirm if I could travel before 1st April 2021 and reply to the email. Unfortunately I cannot travel to Canada right not as well because of Covid risk and restrictions.

It will be a great help if someone can reply my few questions.

1. Should I reply the email stating that I cannot travel to Canada before 1st April 2020? I am asking this because the email say that "Reply if you can travel before the mentioned date"
2. Is this the lsat chance to get the extension of my CoPR?
3. If I am ready to get my re-medical done in future, will I be granted the CoPR extension again?

Kindly suggest what should be my move in this case, as I am strictly not able to travel before 1st April, I can only travel once the situation related to Covid gets better.

Thanks for this, yes you are right. It wasn't clear as I am not sure if this is going to the last chance to get the extension. I will however reply to tell them I am not ready to travel by the given date unless i have absolutely no other choice.
Np.. if it wouldn't have been for the forum.. i wouldn't be as far into the application process as I am.. let's support one another.. onwards and upwards :)

The email also says something on the lines of copr couldn't be extended without a medical exam or pcc or could be something else for others.. so my take is they r asking u to get something done

For me it was medicals.. I'll get them done next week.. I'll keep everyone updated of my progress.

I am no expert but my advice is to respond with all relevant information. I too got the email but can't say for sure how my suggestion would work out

It must written in the email that "only reply if ready to travel before April 1st". If it is not written tell them that you are not ready to travel now and will go for re-medical.
I believe that email address is only for the people who wants an extension. You can raise a web form and inform about the situation.

Hello,
Happy New year.
I am Krishna, CEC (inland) applicant with AOR on Oct 24, 2019, and my spouse is also on the same application, but she is in India. We received a 7 point questionnaire (regarding my spouse's ability to travel in 60 days) on Dec 17, 2020, and I replied to it on the same day. We are awaiting for AL.
Spouse re-medical request: Dec 17, 2020
Spouse re-medical passed: Dec 23, 2020 (updated in GC account)

My question: @legalfalcon
My (Krishna) passport expires on Jul 26, 2021. So, the 6-month validity cut off Jan 26, 2021. I was not able to apply earlier due to a bridging work permit. I am planning to apply for the re-issue of a new Indian passport.
I will have to provide new passport information to IRCC, as India will cancel my old (current) passport. Will it delay the process? (to your knowledge) How much of a process will it be for updating a new passport to PR application?

I appreciate any help you can provide.
Krishna
Hi Krishna,

I am also going through the same procedure.
Got the 7pt for my wife on 21st and replied with in 2 days. I have not received any AL till now. Let me know when you receive any AL from IRCC.

Thank you

Renewing your passport does not delay the process except the time it takes to get a new one. Once you file a request to renew and until you receive a renewed passport, you will have to wait. So do it ASAP.

Also when to send a scan of your new passport, it has no bearing on the processing, except it is updated in the system.
