Congratulations

could you please let me know the expiry date mentioned in the counterfoil as well as COPR? I would love to know if it is the same as medical expiry date or they have given only 6 months validity to land in Canada.

Appreciate your response in advance.
I would like to know that too. please & thank you.

No need to submit passport when applicant is already in canada. My mother is in canada, so we never submitted passport.
My mom came in Canada (visit) after I got Passport request. I did mail passport to Ottawa while she is in Canada, no movement its almost 4 weeks tomorrow.

The expiry date for the visa to land and the copr are the same I.E the date when your medical expires.
Hope it answers your query Sampri and Ali :)
In a recent case, the parents medical was expiring in April 2025 but their VISA/COPR validity was given January 2025.
