Hello,
I got my PPR Oct 4, and my medical expires on Dec 14. The timing looks dicey - because of travel I can only send in my passport in a few weeks, and because I'm in a risk country very far away from Canada, it might take me another month to receive my COPR and passport back.
Is there a way of asking for my medicals to be extended, and when should I ask? Can I ask for an extension before I get COPR? I hope that I get to have longer than a few weeks to plan a flight. I've also read a few threads where people received COPRs with expired medical dates, and they had to contact their VO to correct the mistake and re-send an updated COPR. That seems very anxiety-provoking, and I would like to avoid that.
Thank you!
