we received our COPR dated Nov. 18th, 2014, however with a Dec. 4th, 2014 validity date, at first we thought this was a typo, but after some research it appears that perhaps our Medical expired for my wife (i'm the sponsor).
We had a second medical done in Nov. 13th, 2014 as we knew it was expiring, however we didn't read the fine print that the medical expiration date is tied to the Landing date, not just the COPR date....
now we're scrambling to get a NEW COPR issued from vienna, we've submitted the updated medical with umi barcode , and are hoping that this resolves the issue and that we can get a new COPR letter from Vienna so that we can forward onto CPC Ottawa for processing with my wife's passport (as we're in Canada already), and then book our appointment with CIC for landing....
Does this sound like the correct process??
thxs,
You must land in Canada before the expiry date, which appears on your Canada Immigration Visa. Usually, the expiry date is one year from the time medical examinations were completed. As this is not always the case, be sure to verify the expiry date as soon as you receive your Canada Immigration Visa.
PS hope this answer ur question, since ur are in canda u could went to anz immigratio office.
