COPR and coronavirus

[abhishekmishra19]

Is there anyone else who does not have any progress on their expired COPR. My COPR expired on April 2020, I've sent the ready to travel web forms, proactively sent the four questions' answers since I did not get the four pointer mail, but the only response I got was we are processing your application. I have had no ghost updates on my profile, no request for re medical. I am seriously getting worried now since it's almost a year now that my travel plans have cancelled.

dont worry.... i am in similar condition with same timelines.
no updates ...no 4 pointer mail....Raised GCMS which doesnt have any specific update...
called IRCC last week and agent mentioned that they had received RTT and only advise she can offer is to 'wait'

so hang on ....it shall too pass!!!!

I agree, but it is not the question of If but When? And that is the frustrating part.

Guys : What is the minimum timeframe that IRCC provides between COPR issue date and COPR expiry date?
(I know that COPR expiry is either 6 months or medical expiry).

My medicals expired on Dec 31st 2020 I haven't received any extension yet. Assuming they give 6 months extension, my medicals will expire on June 30th , and if COPR is issued in June1st the expiry would be June 30th right? Will they even issue COPR with just a 30 day window to wrap up.

Personally I would need 90 days as my notice as I would like to serve my notice period in the present job.

Usually COPRs are not issued with just 30 days validity, there are issued with at least 90 days validity for most cases. This is because it will take you at least 30 days to send your passport and receive it back after your get your PPR, so a validity of 30 days would not make sense.

Also, your meds have to be valid when your application is being processed, as well as when you land in Canada.

You should worry about serving notice period once you hear anything from IRCC an AL (Authorisation letter) valid for 2 months or remeds notification. Notice period is the thing that can be dealt with and should not effect your travel to Canada. You can relieve early or serve the notice period remotely from Canada. Just saying!

Hello everyone. I have been closely following this forum.
My copr was issued before 18th March 2020.
I had sent my PP for stamping to New Delhi.
While in the copr, the primary office is mentioned as CPC-Ottawa.

Could you pls let me know which is my VO here? I am really confused about this.

Hi guys , I need some opinion on this. A week ago i had called IRCC support centre to find out the status of AL (COPR update jan 7- expired feb 27th) ,the agent had told me that its been sent to the officer for approval. However, when i called them today , the agent said that the VO paris officer already approved and sent it to me on Jan 19th which obviously i hadn't received it. Now he asked me to mail a webform asking them to resend. I am confused.. why the mismatch in chronology?.. what is the best course of action ? @whyCorona @13nitinsharma

I'm in the same boat. I did not get four point email - I did not get a single email from IRCC ever since COPR expiry in May 2020.

You should immediately raise a webform and mention your situation. They'll definitely look into this.

Yeah, I raised a webform right away. Although, I haven't received any response for the previous ones which i sent in the last month.

Hey man, have you sent an RTT and if so, when? CoPR expired on July 2020. Paris VO. Sent several emails since 23 November. 0 news so far.

A family member in Canada told me that federal workers are lazy as hell and because of covid they all work from home without anyone supervising them or their work productivity. She told me that with the new travel restrictions just declared by Trudeau there's little hope that things will move for me. I hope she's right. I quit my job to go to Canada but I think I'm going to start applying for jobs here again starting on Monday because who knows how long this is gonna take.

Totally agree with what you have heard from a family member. Have heard the same from a family member in Canada, very sad indeed.

 

[DixvilleNotch]

can anyone explain why the expiration of AL and COPR are different after reissuing? i.e. im seeing AL is for 2 month validity, but COPR is longer. Why is that?
