COPR and coronavirus

[Maximilian89]

My pleasure!

Even if we inform them that we have decided not to travel prior to the expiry of CoPR - but later change our mind, IRCC is clear that we can travel anytime we choose to do so, as long as the CoPR is still valid. No explanation or prior information is needed for changing our mind and land.

Currently and understandably MOST if not all responses are rather generic, with same or similar message from IRCC, so nothing to worry there. I do think IRCC is fairly alright in responding to questions - afterall it is better to ask the question if we have them. I would do the same!

Once the CoPR expires, whether or not medicals are re-requested shall remain unknown and most likely vary case to case. This is simply my guess - have not seen any instructions related to circumstances under which re-medicals will be sought by IRCC.

There is no expectation of anything additional to re-medicals, PRV stamping et al.

For what its worth, I personally would try to travel before CoPR expires. Obviously, this will be different for each individuals' circumstances. Go with your gut feel! Be safe and informed!

I wish you well!

Super thanks !!!!

It was mentioned as June 30. I'm not sure if they've extended it now

Hi All,

upon checking the guidance again I saw there was some changes made. The "unwilling to travel" part has been removed and so has the part about the medical extensions. The only thing it says now is you can only get an extension if you are "unable to travel".

I am able to travel I think as my flight hasn't been cancelled yet but I would rather not travel at this time and even if I do travel, it would be for a soft landing as I do not plant on settling permanently for another year or so.

Those who have submitted webforms and received positive feedback, what did you actually say in the webform ? Did you list the reasons why you were unable or unwilling to travel ? Did you attach any evidence ? Where you asked for evidence at any point ?

Thanks

Here's the link by the way (please let me know if I'm not looking at the latest update or something):

"Unwilling to travel" is still there They have removed the medical part.
Please be careful before posting as wrong information can create panic among many folks. Below is the paragraph that contains unwilling:

"Expired COPR and PRV: If the applicant informs IRCC via the Web form that they are unable or unwilling to travel after the expiration of their COPR and PRV, or if they are unable or unwilling to travel prior to expiration, officers are to re-open the application, and it should be brought forward for review in 90 days. These files can be identified by their disposition in the GCMS and the org ID O263567290956."

Minor point if anyone is going to correct someone else posting questionable info then they should also include a link to the official page else posting just words no different to the post being commented on
