COPR and coronavirus

Hey guys,
I replied to the do you still want to immigrate email on April 20 and myCIC GCKey profile has been updated today or yesterday April 26-27 from "Approved" to "Submitted" and "We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you."
It says they do not need a medical exam (I did an upfront medical visit in December but tbh I hope they will ask me to redo it in order to have a longer COPR validity period).
It also indicates my background check is being processed.
I wonder why it's going so fast all of a sudden. I hope they don't give me a 60 day ultimatum to pack my stuff and move.
No, I did not get any acknowledgment of receipt. The email address that you used is correct. Don't worry and have patience. Check your CIC profile to see if anything changes. From the info I gathered on this forum thread it usually takes around 15-20 days for them to update the profile and then they send a request to do the medical visit.

@ameha i received the mail on 19th April and replied on the same day.my profile got updated on 26th April and now it’s showing submitted.I didn’t get any notification.I simply logged in gc key account and saw the update.
I understand how you must be feeling, as I responded to that mail on the very last date, and I was under extreme stress and uncertainty whether IRCC would consider my response or not.
Thankfully, my account got updated after few days, and I got the re-medical request.
But until that happened, I was very anxious and stressed out.
You have already received some good advice about the next steps you should take.
My only advice would be to make your response as genuine as possible and request them to consider it on humanitarian grounds, where your efforts and hopes of many years are on the line, and that too in such extraordinary and stressful times. If possible, include some evidence also. For eg, in case you were not well and hence couldn’t check your emails, then include your doctor’s prescription, etc.
Pls make a proper case but respond as soon as you can.
All the best

hello everyone, bit of a background, my COPR expired June 2020. I received an email recently asking if I am still interested in immigrating to Canada to which I replied positively and got issued medical forms to take another round of medical exams for both myself and my spouse.
However, I didn't receive one for my child, whereas in my reply to them I have clearly stated that he is part of my application. He did undergo a medical exam the first time we included him in the application. not sure if they are waiving it for the child this time or they just missed it.
Wondering if anyone else is in a similar boat. I did reach out to cic to clarify but wanted to get the forum's input as well. much appreciated!

"Do you.." email received March 15. Responded affirmative March 17. No automated acknowledgement. Status on IRCC system updated to "In Progress". Received request for medicals today April 27 (so approximately 40 days later).

@Raj_Wan when did your profile change to in progress? It looks like some are taking more than 20-30 days while looks like @BillyWescott your profile updated within 5-6 days.
I have received the automated acknowledgment email but nothing after that email. I still see my old counter foil documents and old statuses.
should I reach out to them? Any thoughts?
Thanks to you I checked my mail and guessed what I have missed the mail as well. It was routed to a folder where I don't usually check. Luckily the deadline is day after tomorrow. Don't worry you will get yours. Good things will happen because your post is what helped me.
Yes, it is in PDF format and page 2 is titled "medical report and client biodata summary"

Thanks @BillyWescott
BTW I got the Do you still want to immigrate email on the 19th April as well. I think my GCKey status also changed to submitted around the same time.
Yes - even my status says Medical results are done (however, in my case, they had actually asked for the remedical)
and That they are checking the Background Verification.
Hoping that this gets done real soon
I hope I can land in Canada before August - Ive heard that the jobs market tanks from around Oct - Feb
Just wait for couple of days, your account will be updated with the re-medical request. In my opinion, it's better to re-do the medicals as it will give you a another 10-12 months for you to land in Canada.
