Steps after receiving CoPR and Visa ?

[Asivad Anac]

So does the 1 year duration start from when the test was done, or when the IRCC sees it ?

The latter. Not a big difference though, probably a week or two at most.

Dude - it doesn't matter.

Your COPR has an expiry date printed on it (look under "valid to"). This is what matters. You have to land by then. End of story.

When the clinic uploads the results on eMedical. Usually after a week from performing the exam.

Thanks guys.

So my Medical exam was conducted on 10th September 2015, however I remember I had to do an extra test on the same day because they found blood in my urine, and said it can take a few days to get its results.

My Visa and CoPR both mention the 4th October 2016 expiry date.

So with the above said, is it *absolutely safe* to assume that I just need to land there by 4th October 2016, or would it be better if I landed by 10th September 2016 ?

I want to delay going to Canada as much as possible to delay the start of 5 year rule as much as possible, however I don't want to risk my PR status by entering Canada too late. Hence the question.

If your COPR is valid until 4 Oct, you can enter up until this date.

You can cross-check with the medical expiry, which is also listed on the COPR (section "Medical Details"). What does it say under "valid to"?

It says 4th October 2016 there.

It says 4th October 2016 there.

So there you go.

You've got a visa, a COPR and a medical that's valid until 4 Oct 2016.

You can land anytime before that date.

No objections. Dependents can land later, but must land before the COPR expires.

You are a PR from the minute you land in Canada with your COPR. You will have full work rights and can take any job you want.

Hi All, I recently got my immigrant visa and COPR with an expiry date of October 2016 and am planning to enter Canada by air.
The COPR mentions Totonto/Ontario as the port/province of entry. I am confused by this because I applied for the Federal immigration program and not the Ontario provincial program. Does this mean I can only enter and work in the Ontario province?

No. Tha simply reflects the choice you make while filling your application. You can show up at any PoE across Canada.

A very good thread.

This seems so relevant

I intend to make my first visit for just two weeks and make my permanent move later after a few months.

So on my first visit, can I show a bank statement, at the Port of Entry, having less than the minimum funds requirement if it is accompanied by confirmed return air ticket after two weeks (having enough funds for a two week visit?)
