COPR expiry date

[CMcM]

I've just gotten approved for permanent residence (found out on My CIC and am waiting for my COPR letter to arrive). Quick question about the expiry date: it says in the letter that I must arrive in Canada on or before 04/05/2018 -- just checking that this is day-month-year format?? My medical exam was on 20 April 2017 so I expected it to be a year from that date but obviously this date is either two weeks before or two weeks after, really hoping it means 4 May and not 5 April!

Ah, never mind! I just realised that the 4th of May was the date that our medical results were released, so it must be that date!!

Same here. exact same date for our too... i do not know what it is ? Is it YYYY/MM/DD or YYYY/DD/MM ? What is the format for expiry date can anyone else chime in with their expiry date they see in GCKEY so we can figure out what format it is ?

YYYY/MM/DD

I am guessing thats what it is too, read this article and recommendation is that format usually for official documents. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_and_time_notation_in_Canada

The application was not even opened till the 17th april so i think it was when medical was submitted so copr goes by medical expiry date it seems.

Yes, COPR expiry is 1 year from the date of your medical.
