COPR and coronavirus

[Meharoon26july]

Just to update everyone as promised. I received my new COPR and it is annotated that....... "this document replaces the COPR issued on or before 18 March 2020"..... in other words, I can travel anytime.

Good luck to everyone

But it's not mentioned that u can travel.

Hi Guys,
Did anyone receive COPR/PPR after March 2021?
Please reply, I am getting very anxious....

But in his case new copr is issued after March so that rule doesn't apply to him

It can be interpreted both ways. The fact that they expressly mention the pre-March 2020 COPR in the new COPR tends to make one think this is to clarify that the COPR holder is travel restriction exempt, though. Otherwise this line would have no purpose. It also seems logical that they would be restriction exempt but as we all know common sense is not in IRCC's vocabulary and cannot be relied upon.

IRCC should clarify this and expressly explain what they mean by "replaced". Otherwise it's opened to discretionary interpretation by the customs officer imo.

Hi,

"If we approved your permanent residence application and we issued you a COPR on or before March 18, 2020, you’re exempt from the travel restrictions.
However, you can’t travel to Canada on expired documents. We’ll contact you (if we haven’t already) to ask you if you’re able to travel to Canada now, to live and settle here. After we receive your reply, we will respond to you within 4 weeks. Once we approve you to come to Canada, we’ll issue you the documents you need to travel"


I am exempt from travel restrictions as per above and an email I received from them.

Don't over think my situation. All the best

AH okay great thanks.

Any idea what were the apps she downloaded? ArriveCan? SwitchHealth? Edeclaration?
These are required prior to departure i believe.

Hi

A quick update. In the envelope with my COPR, there were some other info re what to do prior to departure with the ongoing pandemic. Most were not applicabe but it is stated that I need to download ArriveCan app and provide them my details

So you might want to download the app too.

All the best

You’re right, just because it isn’t specified in black and white terms, it is possible the immigration officer may use their own interpretation and make a decision. If in case that happens, one might have to guide the official through the sequence of events that transpired.

@Gwaine Hey. In your request letter, have they mentioned the name of the country for which they require PCC, like specifically.

Hi,

I have no plans for travel yet but will definitely keep you all posted.

Cheers

Hi, I replied positively to the mail "Do you still want to immigrate" and now the profile is updated (expired COPR details are disappeared and current status is shown as submitted). could someone please tell me after the profile got updated how long it took to receive the re-medical request?

Can you please share timeline of the new COPR. Did u do remedicals as well?

 

[cancan90]

A video I saw months back by kubeir who is an Canada immigration laywer he guessed it to be some 1000.. Because i think they issued from sept to Jan and then again stopped.

This is not 100%

that's easily manageable. But ofcourse their govt thinks the best for them
