COPR and coronavirus

JUST AN UPDATE:

Today IRCC conducted first All Program draw after 3 months hiatus. This might or might not mean anything but this is still a positive step. I know it's still early but we may seeing other positive things in coming days.

Thank you for your inputs.
But, the ability to travel form is the deal breaker here. Landing in winter won't be wise with kids, and neither do I want to miss the opportunity to board the first flight available - if between the 2nd and 4th week of August. My managers are aware about my move, and have agreed to support. But it is upon me to reciprocate appropriately. And hence, I wish to give suitable notice period.

Thanks again though. Good luck!

You are missing the processing time for getting the new CoPR and its validity. What if you raise the ability to travel in Oct 2020 and get new CoPR in Nov 2020 with validity of 6 months expiring on May 2021? In this case there is no need for your to wait for winter to get over for your "ability to travel" webform. There are many probabilities and there could be chances of IRCC issuing new CoPR with a validity of 1 year based on your current medical report. Just keep things simple and go one step at a time.

COPR Issued - March 19
COPR Expired - April 23
Raised Webforms - Not able to travel - Before and after COPR expiry
Raised Webform - Ready to travel - June 8
Ghost Update in CIC profile - June 27
Called CIC - July 1 - Medicals Extended to Sept 25. (5 months from COPR)
Visa Office - NDVO

Your File was processing at NDVO then how come IRCC can see your file and answer about your Medical Extended. I am asking this Question because My File was also processing at NDVO and when ever I called them they say that my File is at NDVO so they dont have access of File and not able to tell me anything .
COPR Expired --23rd April
Ready to Travel Webform --9th june
Please guide me how can I know that My Medical is extended or not ?

They had to do that. They have long-term plans and everything is paid for, so they must conduct these planned actions.
As it was stated before - immigration is a big money business.
The fact that the mechanism is working gives us hope.
Crossed my fingers and toes.

Man you have become the saviour for most of the COPR holder's whose COPR are expiring in August or September .... All hail @whyCorona

Hi,

My CoPR approved date is before March 18th and it is going to expire soon.

Could someone please answer following questions:

Is it possible to extend my CoPR ?, If so how can I do that ? ... I already reached out through webform but I got generic reply.
If I do soft landing in Canada, Is it possible to use AVR to return back to USA with valid i20 ?

Appreciate your help on this.

Thanks.

Three days ago when they announced the flights for 6th and 8th July flight ticket was 80k... And currently only flights till 17th July are available beyond that not available I guess they will do it after these fill up or are they already full ??
