COPR and coronavirus
- Thread starter zeus89
- Start date
is everyone getting a remedical request for COPR extension? I've read a post here that medicals were extended by a year and also reading others who were required to do remedical. is it based on the officer's discretion (one who handles your file) or something else? could someone please clarify.
Hi Alia
When you have completed your medicals , it takes time for IRCC to update the details in your IRCC application , and the doctors will send the medical reports directly to IRCC (Hope you have done your medical with panel physicians itself), once the reports are received then the details will be updated by IRCC .
Hai Nightsun
When you are getting the photograph make sure it should be a white background , make sure the photograph should be from neck to chin, full shoulders should not be visible. Please do find the link below and make sure your photograph looks like the same which is maked in green color , that is the correct dimensions and sample photo.

Hi Newbie
In your web form for the point which you have updated, kindly give the address of AIRBNb, details on how you are planning to settle once you reach in Canada. Example after your 14days stay in quarantine , how you are planning for a job , have you applied for any jobs from india stating in your resume that you got your PR and ready to travel so that Employers may be interested to hire you.
You need to give a clear picture on how you are planning to live in Canada and search a job in Canada to continue your livelihood in Canada.
@whyCorona and @crackMBA ......
so I checked with the airline and got confirmed the ticket is all the way through to Toronto. But I need to go through immigration at Vancouver which means PR landing is done there.
If that is the case do I end up serving the quarantine obligations in Vancouver. How do i transit? Cant understand.
And if I don't have a Vancouver address for PR card what is my next option?
Anyone else had similar experiences?
Hello,
I'll be flying from BLR to Toronto the following weekend.
I am confused about the financial requirements for CBSA clearance.
1. How do I show proof of funds once I land in Canada at Port of entry?
Netbanking, Statement or Letter from the BAnk?
2. Can I withdraw a portion of the funds and exchange them to CAD or do they need the entire amount requirement for 1 person in the bank?
@crackMBA @13nitinsharma @hinavin @whyCorona please help me out with this bit?
Thanks in Advance

You can catch a connecting flight after immigrations at Vancouver. No issues. You are not the only one who will be travelling to Toronto via Vancouver.
Give a Canadian address where you want your card to be shipped whether its Vancouver or Toronto. Just to make sure you have a valid reason if Immigration officer questions you.
Best of luck.

New travel restrictions to be announced in few days. What they could be? Hotel stay for quarantine or travel restrictions only Canadian travelling abroad for leisure?

Good day,
Your request to be exempted from the current restrictions to travel to Canada has been approved under the Order in Council, Minimizing the Risk of Exposure to COVID-19 in Canada Order (Prohibition of Entry into Canada from any country other than the United States).
This letter is not a travel document and does not, on its own, authorize you to travel to Canada without a valid passport, visa or electronic travel authorization (eTA) that you will need to travel to Canada. To board your flight and to enter Canada, you must continue to meet all the usual eligibility and admissibility requirements in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA).
The final decision on admission to Canada is made by border services officers at Canadian ports of entry. In order to be admitted into Canada, and in addition to meeting all the usual entry requirements, foreign nationals must satisfy the examining officer that their entry to Canada is for a non-discretionary rather than a discretionary purpose.
Important: You must bring evidence that you meet the eligibility requirements to travel at this time. You must bring the evidence you provided in your application and this email from IRCC. If you can’t provide this information, you won’t be allowed to board your flight or enter Canada.
This decision has been documented in Canada’s Global Case Management System.
This authorization is valid for single use and to a maximum validity of three (3) calendar months. It is only an assessment that your presence in Canada is for the purpose of reuniting with your immediate family members. To board your flight and to enter Canada, you must meet all admissibility and other requirements, as well as other applicable laws and regulations. You will not be allowed to travel to Canada for reasons of an optional or discretionary nature, such as tourism, recreation or entertainment.
You are responsible for your own travel arrangements and this exemption does not grant you access to repatriation flights facilitated by the Government of Canada.
If you are travelling by air, pre-departure COVID-19 testing requirements are now in place. You need to pass a health check conducted by airlines before you are allowed to board your flight. Anyone who shows symptoms of COVID-19 will not be allowed to enter Canada by air.
Before you can fly to Canada, you need to submit the following information via ArriveCAN:
Stay informed. Read the latest travel advice from the Government of Canada on the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and keep checking our website for updates related to COVID-19, including when the travel restrictions will be lifted.

Before you can fly to Canada, you need to submit the following information via ArriveCAN:
- contact information
- travel information
- quarantine plan(unless you’re exempt)

There are serious consequences for not complying with this requirement and if you don’t have a quarantine plan, you should not travel to Canada.
- COVID-19 symptom self-assessment
- downloading the free Government of Canada ArriveCAN app (iOS, Android)
- signing in to the online web-based version of ArriveCAN
- Travellers transiting through a Canadian airport are exempt from the ArriveCAN requirement.
- When you arrive in Canada, a border services officer will assess your health and your quarantine plan before you’ll be allowed to enter the country.
