I'm sorry for any misunderstanding, but I was genuinely trying to ask a question: Is this really the IRCC way (The 'We regret' emails) to communicate about re-meds? I thought they were sending explicit directions that they want a remedical done and uploaded. Because the email that Rajdeep Kaur received is very scary at first sight. I would never know how to interpret it.
COPR and coronavirus
- Thread starter zeus89
- Start date
Yes they are sending this way only.And this even caused panic in one person who tweeted that he got rejection for extension after waiting for 9 months.I cross checked with him and found he has got this mail which he took as rejection.I explained him that its remedical request.
Yes, indeed. I am thinking to travel now. It makes no sense to wait again. But I have a question why isn't recommended to book a flight? Because we are not sure in how much time we will receive our AL. Then in that case there could be a situation when we try to book the flight tickets and by chance everything is booked, so what option can one avail?
Yes I got also mail in which written : not possible to validate my copr due to medical expire and file will remain open. No specific metion that do remedical again
Good decision.
IRCC don't want you to block your money on flight until they issue you the AL. They gonna re-access your questions and make the go ahead for AL issuance.
IMO, wait till 15 Jan 2021 and then book a flight. Chances are high that they will reply you before 15th Jan 2021 with AL as your medicals are extended till 31st Jan 2021. If not then raise a webform that you are still waiting for AL issuance by giving reference to the email which you have received.
Good luck!
In my opinion, their regret is about that their inability to take action on applicant's file.
Furthermore, I believe the first paragraph and last paragraph seem to be part of template.
@Rajdeep kaur 92 Please keep us updated of status of your application
Hi @whyCorona , i applied for an AL almost 2 weeks ago. I am the accompanying spouse to the principal applicant- my wife. I applied for exemption to travel based on the fact that I have an extended family member (my biological sister is a PR in Canada) I’m hoping we are giving the AL to travel for my family. Got passport request in early Nov and COPR valid till Jan 29th 2021.
I am ready to travel by mid January before it expires .
What if I don’t get a response for the AL by end of Dec? What do you think I should do ? Thanks

Just make sure your case fits well in extended family member exemptions.
I would advise you to wait for IRCC to get back to you. Stay hopeful!
Yes it fits well @whyCorona . A notarized letter was signed by her and I filled in the form and attached with other proof of relationship as per the requirements. Thanks
