Hello!

I would like to know that if I get CoPR today, then how long will I get to delay my landing into Canada?

Is it

A) As long as my medicals are valid for? If so then what if my medicals expires the very next day that I receive my CoPR?

B) As long as my CoPR is valid for, which I am guessing is one year!

C) As long as both A and B are simultaneously valid!

Mine has been an unusual case, as it has been more than 8 moths since I got my AOR!

Thank you very much.

CoPR is valid until medical or passport expires - whichever comes first. This means you have to land before this date (it will be printed on your CoPR) I would contact CIC if your medicals are expiring soon.

medical is 1 year after day of examination

CoPR is 6 months after DM or whenever medical is valid, whichever come first.

Thanks for the valuable information. But I have several more questions.

I did my first medical on 01AUG2015.

On 13MAY2016 I received an email request for a medical reassessment. The email header was like this

"This is in reference to your visa application for Canada.

The results of initial medical examinations for yourself has expired. In order to provide your application with an updated validity we require following additional medical examination(s) for yourself:
Chest Xray (in DICOM / JPEG format) with report (in PDF)
Completed MEDICAL REPORT CHEST X-RAY REQUISITION AND REPORT form (Page 5 and 6 of IMM5419) (in PDF)
Duly completed Re-assessment Form (Attached herewith)"


So I had my x-ray done again on 15May2016. Note that this was just the chest X-ray and not the whole medical like in the first time.
So now, will the validity of my medical be one year counting form my first medial or form the date of my reassesment (15May2016)
I also don't understand, that since it has not been one year yet, how can CIC say "The results of initial medical examinations for yourself has expired" ? Or is it that the x-ray only has a 6 month validity.

I understand that CoPR is valid for 6 months (or 6 months after DM).

Thanks again!
