Hi Everyone,
I got the below email from IRCC today.
URGENT: IRCC requires your action or response immediately
Please select one of the following two options:
Option 1: Confirm that you plan to travel to Canada before the validity date above. If you choose this option, you will be sent a request to submit your passport (which must be valid until at least the date above) to IRCC for physical reissuance of your CoPR (and your PR visa, if you are a citizen of a visa required country). Your CoPR will be annotated to indicate that it is a replacement for a document issued on or before March 18, 2020. If you select this option, you must use your re-issued CoPR and PR visa before the validity date printed on the new documents expires. If you do not use them before they expire, you will need to submit a new application if you want to immigrate to Canada in the future.
Option 2: Do another medical examination. If you select this option, you will be sent a request to do new medicals (at your own expense) within NINETY (90) calendar days. Your new medicals will be valid for 12 months from the date of your new examination. When we receive your updated medical results, we will assess whether any other information needs to be updated to re-issue your CoPR(s). If you (and your dependants, if applicable) continue to meet all statutory requirements, we will send you a request to submit your passport(s) for physical reissuance of your documents, which you will need to use before they expire.
Can someone who has received similar mail help understand timelines in case I chose Option 1.Also if I understand correctly this is not AL ?
I am pre Mar 2020 COPR which expired in Jun 2020 and Visa Office is NDVO
Thank you!

Hi last week I received same email from IRCC , I replied with option 1, may be they gonna send the PPR soon
I got the email from immigration.refugees.and.citizenship.canada@notification.canada.ca and had to reply back with my responses to ircc.in-rroc-corr-ri.ircc@cic.gc.ca.
Yesterday marked the exact date my COPR was approved in 2020. This could be an auto triggered email. Has anyone else recieved something similar?

If you confirm that you are still interested in immigrating to Canada and that you would like your application to be re-assessed, IRCC will do the following on a one-time exceptional basis:
- Reopen your application and review it to determine whether any additional or updated documents are needed to confirm that you (and your family members, if applicable) still meet the statutory requirements for (a) permanent resident visa(s).
- Send you new medical forms and instructions, and also a request letter if we require more information or updated documents (e.g. valid passport, updated police certificate(s), updated screening forms).
- Review your application to confirm whether you still meet the requirements for a PR visa.
- If you still meet the requirements: re-issue your PR visa(s), which you will need to use before the new expiry date.
If you request that we reopen and re-assess your application IRCC must determine whether you continue to meet the requirements to be issued a Permanent Resident Visa. If you, or your family member(s) do not now meet those requirements (e.g. you are now inadmissible to Canada), your application could be refused.
If you wish to immigrate to Canada in the future, but have not replied to this message, you will need to re-apply for permanent residence, pay the required fees, and meet any requirements in effect at the time of your new application.
If you choose not to have your file re-assessed at this time, and instead you let this permanent residence application remain closed, this decision will not have a negative impact on a new application which you may make in the future.
CoPR expired in April 2020.
Still no AL nor any mail from IRCC.
Raised multiple webforms for ready to travel but got generic (unrelated) responses.
Same boat @adiljaved88 .
CoPR expired - April 2020
Sent multiple webforms and the got same generic responses as you.
Still waiting to hear from IRCC
I got the email from immigration.refugees.and.citizenship.canada@notification.canada.ca and had to reply back with my responses to ircc.in-rroc-corr-ri.ircc@cic.gc.ca.
Wow…. ``If you do not respond as requested in this letter, your application for permanent residence will remain closed and you will need to re-apply if you wish to immigrate to Canada in the future."
How can this be applicant fault? They close the border, they don’t provide the AL, they don’t respond even after multiple webforms and if we fail to respond then we need to start again from scratch. Hope they will extend your medical & issue you with the AL soon. Goodluck.
Exactly! It's so frustrating. The strange part is that I've been responding to their 4-pt emails and raising so many RTT webforms. The email is worded as if I've been silent for over a year.
Based on my reply they're going to "re-assess my application and determine whether I continue to meet the requirements to be issued a Permanent Resident Visa". This part sounds a bit ominous coz I hope they don't re-evaluate right from the CRS score.
Fingers crossed on getting a medical request soon!
They gave me this template to copy and paste on an email and send it back to ircc.in-rroc-corr-ri.ircc@cic.gc.ca
