Lol. You should be ranked 1 for fear mongering on this forum. Your posts are strictly based on reading bulletins and manuals from CIC. Earlier somewhere you said people out of status can't apply for PR. I know at least one person who has done it and achieved PR but if I put that here you will call it luck because your opinionated. Lol. Also, your COPR theory is garbage although it's in line with CIC's procedure. People get Visa beyond expiry of passport and medical expiration but again you will call it luck.
There's no point in this discussion, people can decide for themselves whose suggestion they like to stick to.
By all means, quote a post where I "fear-mongered". And quote this post you refer to where I said a person out of status can't get PR. If you can't quote it, you are just making it up.
My posts are based on research, the IRCC website and experience on this forum.
IRCC does not issue visas beyond passport expiry. COPRs are valid until one year from the medical or passport expiry, whichever is first. Sometimes, it may within a few weeks of that date but it is still based on that.
I'm sure people will have no issue deciding which "suggestion" to take.
