COPR and coronavirus

[bhaskarm]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Hello Everyone, seeking all your expert advice in my case. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My COPR was issued before Mar 18 2020. But it expired in June 2020. After my expiry I tried contacting IRCC Couple of times in the month of MAY, September informing my ability not to travel.

I have been checking Canada PR program website quite some time now. At one point of time they mentioned only applicants who are willing to settle completely as Canadian PR Are welcome couldn't travel at that time as IRCC Requested many documents which are not with me. Now I they mentioned IRCC will start contacting applicants with Expired COPR. But in my case I haven't received any email. Totally confused.

At this point I am scared if my COPR Is cancelled or is it valid. I also saw Canadian borders are going to be opened by mid of august. Please let me know what can do in this phase to re initiate my COPR.

Tried Contacting IRCC On phone multiple time all I hear is " Call cant be completed due to high volume"

ANY HELP IS GREATLY A{{RECIATED. THANKS TO EVERYONE IN THIS GROUP IN ADVANCE.

I have a similar case too. I am migrating from the US to Canada, and reached out to IRCC several times updating my travel and quarantine plans. Recently, IRCC confirmed that they will be sending out travel instructions/ new set of travel documents. However, there is no defined timeline. I am not sure where you are located, but I usually call them between 8:00 to 9:00 am EST or after 2:00pm EST. Try reaching them multiple times on 1-(888)-242-2100. I am sure you will get a response. Good luck!

If you did not respond to their emails sent in late 2020/early 2021, then you are in all likelihood back to the ITA stage. You can check your status in your GC Key account. Also try calling IRCC or raising a webform to find out your status.

Hello

The webform for submission of passport is already open. If any one waiting can submit the webform.

Yeah submitted, no confirmation email received yet though (upon submission, it says confirmation email sent). Did you receive any ?

Yes, I have received it. It took 5 minutes to receive. You can try refreshing your email.

almost 1 hr since I raised. Anyways have captured a screen shot. It seems strange though, I need to raise 2 webforms for same application (myself and dependent spouse). The PPR has only my name, so not sure how VFS will treat it. Fingers crossed.

Hey @CNP - ive done the same thing and Ive also not received any email confirmation.

Also, did you notice how fast the Reference numbers are climbing? Between submitting my spouse's application and mine (which must be at most 5 mins apart), the difference in reference numbers is atleast 300
So 300 forms in 5 mins!!! thats nuts

Yeah, for me it is diff of 171 applications . But was expected. Across India too many PPRs were accumulated and waiting for submission

That means a minimum of 5-6K applications till now. Thats absolutely crazy. Wont this put immense pressure on the jobs scene as soon as all of us land?

 

[canadawaiting]

Its also a very poorly drafted webform. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this doesnt become a target for attacks. This page is a sitting duck and there are enough vulnerabilities for any kid to compromise all of our submissions!

These are not just PR applications. Rather I would assume the student visas would be dominating that number considering September session is round the corner.

Hi @S_D_S at the time of submitting the webform, did you give the same email ID as your IRCC email ID? In case if the email IDs were different, where did you receive the confirmation- ie. on which email id did you receive the confirmation?

 

[DixvilleNotch]

I submitted the webform but no confirmation email. I took a screenshot of the reference number. But how long do these confirmation emails usually take?

Hey everyone, visa category in the webform is Passport Submission for Permanent Resident Application right?
