Passport Delivered at CPC Ottawa and Waiting for COPR ----- come in here, keep each other updated.
- Thread starter JoeyDi
- Start date
It has been over a month then. Does your application show the counterfoil numbers and expiry date after it was approved ? I contacted them through IRCC web form and sent a email directly to the Ottawa office. Those two were my primary means of communication.
I'll tell you my case in detail just in case it helps you even though your case isn't same as mine.
I was so worried about what to do because my medicals would expire last May, too.
I sent some emails to them, but didn't get any answer about it.
I thought it would have just expired after the expiration date of my medical exam.
However, after receiving my GCMS notes, I realized that my medicals had already been extented before they created my COPR.
In my case, according to the GCMS, they reviewed for extension, and then it had been extended. I think they extended my medicals because it was supposed to expire soon when they created my COPR.
I am not sure, but I think if they decide you need another medical exam again after reviewing for extension, they will contact you, otherwise they will just extend expiry date.
I hope it will help you.

Hi All,
Need help! I sent passport to IRCC at 365 Laurier avenue. FedEx shows it was delivered to 60 Moodie Dr, Ottawa (Department of Defense). Just want to check if their offices are shuffled for some reason or did FedEx screwup. Request you guys to check your delivery address please. Raised with FedEx too, awaiting response.
Much appreciated!
Thanks

Ontario is back to phase 2 so not sure what is happening there... For best info I think you should call FedEx maybe they will give you some explanation.
If your package was delivered, can you please let me know the address it was delivered to? It will ease my anxiety a bit. Thanks for your help!
Hi everyone!
I have not been following the thread lately but thought of sharing our experience as it might be of some help or hope to someone.
Well, we got our COPR around August end (check the timelines below) and at the time we were in the US.
FSW - PNP Outland
AOR Nov 2019.
PPR email - August 6th 2020
Passports sent on 12th August 2020, reached Ottawa on 13th August
IRCC account updated on August 27th, stating that the application is complete and approved with the counterfoil numbers available.
Fedex notification of package getting picked up August 27th
Package reached us back with passports stamped on August 30th
COPR expiration date - 30th Sep 2020 as our medical was expiring on 21st Sep 2020.
Well, we crossed the border on Sep 15th and completed our 14 days mandatory quarantine on 30th Sep.
Our experience of crossing the border: - We reached the Canadian border around 3.30 after getting our car exported from the US custom office. Upon reaching, the Canadian immigration initially wasn't sure if we were allowed to enter Canada as our COPR was issued in Sep and not in March. He wasn't completely sure as he wanted to double check the changed rules which were in effect a couple of days ago only. He went in and checked and came back with the good news that as per the new rule we can enter Canada on PR IF ONLY we are doing a hard landing and not a soft one. He asked us couple of questions regarding our situation and status in the US just to make sure that we aren't doing soft landing and do not plan to go back to the US after 14 days quarantine period. We explained him that our visa is expiring in the US and so is our COPR and hence we have no plans of going back to the US. Once he was convinced, he took all the necessary documents and checked our quarantine plan. The whole process took around 1.5 hrs and after all the paperwork they graciously welcomed us and congratulated us on becoming Permanent Residents of Canada.
If you plan to cross the border during Covid times, Few points to note:
- We bought the necessary groceries from Buffalo before crossing the border and the border agents were totally fine with that. There is a list on IRCC website which states what and what not you can bring in terms of food, so follow that.
- We had all our required documents that needed to be filled at the border printed and filled before hand which saved some time.
- We had an Airbnb reservation with all the necessities for 15 days to complete our 14 days mandatory quarantine.
- We were not doing a soft landing and had all the answers to prove that it is definitely a hard landing. Would say DO NOT TRY doing a soft landing as if they will probably send you back.
- We diligently did not step out of our house where we quarantined for 14 days and were also checked upon twice during that period by phone calls from the immigration department.
- Due to Covid, the whole process happened in the parking lot with us being in our car the whole time. We only went inside the immigration office to sign the good to follow and good we are carrying paperwork at the end.
Overall, it wasn't tough at all crossing the border at this time and the agents were very polite and nice through out the process.
