Till how long is a COPR typically valid?

I believe the CoPR is valid even after the one year validity of the medicals as long as the immigrant lands before the one year expiration of the medicals.
However, I’m not sure I understand the OP’s question. If the CoPR is already issued why worry about re-medicals?
Then the date of your medicals is relevant, as you must land on or before the one year anniversary of your medicals.
Yes, but my medical is expired in this June. So I was worried about redo it or are they give me less time in COPR to enter in canada?
I’m not sure if redoing the medicals can be waived, but if your passports have been requested for, follow the instructions and wait for further instructions; you may well be required to re-do the medicals.
They may request a new one or they may extend the medical for an additional year.
Not sure what you are talking about. The COPR has an expiry and it's generally one year from the date of the medical. Validity after a person lands is irrelevant.
Well, what I’m talking about is a document being invalid (expired). At “landing” both copies of the CoPR are signed by the officer and the immigrant and a copy is given (the one without the photograph) to the immigrant. This CoPR is what is used to apply for SIN and other documents. Also if a PR travels to the US such a person can cross the border by land in a private car back into Canada with their copy of the CoPR. If that document is expired (on the one year anniversary of the medicals) it is rendered invalid and can no longer be used. I stand to be corrected.
The validity of the COPR is irrelevant after landing. Service Canada sets their own rule that it can be used within a year of landing to get a SIN. For someone entering at a land border, the COPR can be shown forever.
When we refer to COPR validity/expiry, it means the date by which a person must land.
please help with response on below.
if my COPR is valid till August 2019, and I make a soft landing in first week of March 2019. I stay in Canada for one week and leave Canada for my home country. Can I return to canada by 3rd week of the same March 2019 using the same COPR?
how can i successfully return to canada by 3rd week of March without using land border through US and with no PRTD since it can hardly be processed within a week.
