Confirmation of PR & visa validity period, and can one parent land first?

[lcsxwtian]

Hi all,

Two questions please after passport request:

1. What is the validity period of the COPR paper and visa once issued to my parents? i.e. When must my parents land after receiving these documents?

2. Can one of my parents land first, since the other one still has some employment matters to deal with before coming over? Or must both land at the same time from the same flight?

Thanks!

1) It is usually written in the COPR document when it expires (Could be a year or 6 months or 3months depending when the medical expires)

2) As long as they travel before the expiration of their COPR, they can travel separate

The primary applicant must land first or they can land together. COPR expiry is usually 1 year from the medical exam.
