Hi, thank you! No they did not contact me, however, a week after my CoPR expired, I wrote to them stating that I still want to immigrate.. I am not sure if that prompted the remed, most of us that sent a webform got a remed..
Kindly tell me the
On the CIC website, I chose my VO.. so I guess it went straight to my VO
Kindly tell me how to choose our visa office while sending a webform or please share the link. I wasn't able to find visa office specific webform.

From your end, no action is required. Please check once with panel physician if they've submitted your report to CIC health team.
yes they had submitted in the month of dec 2020 itself. and it got updated in march 2021. However, they have removed and asked for new one, which is according to IRCC support centre, a technical error.

You have to remember that the COPR cannot be issued beyond the validity of the meds. If the officer feels that you won't have enough time within which you can land, a re-med can be requested.
true @legalfalcon .However, IRCC itself have given strict rule to not do new meds until the previous one are expired and the medical centre too said they cant do a remed unless its expired. I also felt it was auto-generated because my first meds were valid till may 2020. So it seems like it just got automated to null . here's the timeline
  1. Pre-march 2020 COPR holder. COPR expiry date-May 2020.Could not travel due to pandemic.
  2. Dec 2020 upfront meds done
  3. re-med request in march 2021
  4. Dec 2020 got linked to GC key and updated in march 2021
  5. GCkey updated with the meds
  6. IRCC removed the above meds from GCKEY and asked for new meds in MAY 2021
  7. I called IRCC support centre, they said its a technical error and they Notified the VO.I dont need a new meds since the one i sent on Dec 2020 i have validity till Dec 2021
  8. right now, i called multiple times..They just asked me to wait. Is there anything i can do here?

Did it work for you?
Hi Humanity1,

This is a great idea. Could you please confirm a few things for me though
  1. How did you obtain this email ID "IRCC.IN-RROC-CORR-RI.IRCC@cic.gc.ca"
  2. Is this email ID location specific. As I see IRCC.IN I suspect it to be from India.
  3. Have you or your acquaintance tried this yourself or themselves and received a positive response?
Your response will be much appreciated.

1. Yep, I'm part of pre-March 2020 group.
2. The confirmation email came from immigration.refugees.and.citizenship.canada@notification.canada.ca
and the remedicals email came from donotreply@cic.gc.ca
So immigration.refugees.and.citizenship.canada@notification.canada.ca is the email ID you received a confirmation. As this is a notification email ID I assume that you did not respond confirming your interest in immigrating to Canada to this email.

How about the email ID that you responded to confirming that you remain interested in immigrating to Canada. Could you share the email ID, the subject and the contents of the email (questions by IRCC) from them.

The reason I ask this is because I was planning to send an email upfront to IRCC confirming that I remain interested in immigrating to Canada, and answering all questions listed in the email.

I would definitely appreciate your help on this, Thanks.

You just have to wait for a response from IRCC. Nothing else can be done.

I am going to apply for expess entry and really very confused about proof of funds. I have read conflicting information about POF on IRCC website. I am from India and I have LMIA supported job offer( for my PR application only not work permit). I also have ainp nomination. I want to know if I am required to submit POF ? On IRCC website, at one place it is written that we do not need to show POF if we are authorised to work in Canada and we have valid job offer. At other place, it is written that we are exempt from providing proof of funds if we have valid job offer only. As I am not authorized to work in Canada since I don't have work permit but I have valid job offer, do I need to show proof of funds ? I have read and heard so much conflicting information on different websites as well and contacted many IRCC regulated lawyers and consultants and their opinion on this is also conflicting. I think you must clear this doubt. This is the link of the website where this information is given: https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1145 Please check the information in the mid and at the end. Thank you in advance.

Hi @legalfalcon and other respectable members !!
My passport currently has 5.5 months of validity left and has a single entry valid PR Visa till november 2021. Can I renew my passport now as I have to first travel to third country to get Covid report and then take flight to Canada. Can I renew the passport and carry both new & old passports (old passport with valid single entry PR visa till november 2021) at Port of Entry? Will I get entry in Canada?
Also do I need to notify IRCC that I have renewed my passport? As I am not sure that whether the COPR should have updated passport number or not. Kindly help please!!
