Copr issued by HK office on December2020. Got expired on May 2021. Contacted ircc through webform early this month, but got a generic reply, asking me to wait for their instructions.

I know the IRCC website advised us not to contact them by webform but I have raised one anyway.
To me it seems that waiting over a month with none of us being contacted deserves some kind of explanation.
Perhaps if enough people raise webforms about the situation they might actualled start issuing our emails/COPR extensions?

I can't understand what's taking so long,I expected to see a few people on here who have had good news...

Btw do you think we will all have to go for re-meds? Or will they just issue extensions?
I don`t think they will grant any extension on medical but who knows they might add something like 3 to 6 months extension for recently expired/expiring medical. There are few updates in different forum from couple of post March applicants. They were asked for re-medical, travel info in any & Schedule A form. Few were asked to submit PCC again as well.

My copr expired in May 2021 and I haven't received any email. I've raised two webforms and only got generic replies.

Patience is the key.
Many waiting with a time line much earlier than yours.
Student permit decisions were promised first week of August so am guessing there could be a heavy student permit applications to process, plus pre march 2020 backlog, post march 2020 back log, hopefully sooooooooooon.

Thank you. Your explanation makes a lot of sense.

Any news please? VO: Sydney
Expired: March 2021
No news (
There is a slight movement with pre-march copr holders, but only God knows when our turn will be for whose post-march copr holders.
I suppose we should prepare for quite a long wait, the movement is very slow now, there is a big backlog, and summer it's the time of vacations, so...
I likely believe there will be more good news since Fall.

I contacted London Visa office and got the following response, sadly nothing good:

Thank you for your enquiry.

Due to the impacts of COVID-19, we can’t process applications normally or give accurate processing times for most applications.

IRCC is working to contact applicants with expired Confirmations of Permanent Residence (COPRs) issued after March 18, 2020. Please wait to be contacted by us and check the website for updates for immigration applicants.

Individuals whose COPR has expired should not book flights or attempt to travel to Canada until they receive a new COPR from IRCC.

Yours sincerely,

LBM

Hi! I see nobody gives the feedback. Guys, would you be so kind to mention your visa office, please.
It would help to understand the situation with different visa offices' activity and working speed.
I currently reside in the United States and our visa office is Ottawa. Planning to send in a webform again tomorrow as we have not received any other email and its been a month now :/
