@legalfalcon please guide. I was able to take air canada flight on travel authorization document. I flew to Calgary via Vancouver. I faced no issue with airline or even at the gate of entry. However the immigration office at Vancouver Airport was not able to print the CoPR. He said he was getting an error because medical seemed expired in the system but he said everything seems to be ok. It seems like a system issue that IRCC needs to fix. He handed us a form that said allowed Entry for further examination. He let's us fly to Calgary and handed over case to CBSA calgary airport. He also gave our passport back while saying that normally they don't give back passport but in this case given we are low risk he is giving back passport. I called up IRCC this morning and they said medical and CoPR both are valid in the system. I requested them to see if they can mail me eCoPR but they said that only CBSA officer would be able to give us CoPR as case is open with them. How much time should I expect the situation to resolve? CBSA officer said 1 or 2 business days but I am not sure given the past record.. We are in Canada but have no status. It is frustrating and we are very anxious. Your guidance will help.

This should not take too long. I am surprised that they let you go without giving any instructions or notice to appear at an IRCC office.

If you do not hear back in a week, follow up.

Received payment link at 01:09 AM IST this morning. Made the payment of Rs. 1689.
The email has consent and sms forms.
Received payment link at 5AM, but once again for 3 dependants and not for the primary applicant. Made the payment. The payment gateway has issues this morning and only UPI QR code payment is getting through.

IRCC sent email today to confirm the interest to travel to Canada as my parents COPR was expired in Oct 2020. They will be sending instructions on new medicals and any other documentation needed. How soon does IRCC usually send info on new medicals once I reply to their email? Also, my parents are planning to travel to Canada on their existing visitor visa once the flight ban from India is lifted. Their passport is also expiring in the next 8 months. Is it ok to do re-medicals in Canada and get the new Indian passport issued in Canada if needed ?

Hey thanks. Does the email mention something like - ‘if you make the payment within 12 hours, the pick up would be done on xx date?’
Have they provided any dates?

How can we fetch the RPRF fee receipt? Is it mandatory to include it? as my application already mentions the amount I have paid as RPRF.
Hey. So I could see the receipt uploaded on my GC key account in the list of uploaded documents. But that could be because I had paid it later and not along with the PR application and biometric fee. You can check there.

Hi Haydi, firstly congratulations. Just had a few questions. I went through your postings, and found out that you had received an extension on your medicals after submitting web forms. That gives me some hope.
From which email ID did you receive your remedicals, PPR and related emails? Please do let us know, thanks.
Thanks. I didn’t get any emails regarding my medical extension and the same was directly changed in my profile. I got the PPR email from : BRCD.IRCC@cic.gc.ca

Hi - is there a form or a document where you are supposed to provide Height, Eye Colour Info?

Also, for the Courier package of Dependents, the PPR Name would be in the name of the Main / Primary applicant, am I right? There are no forms or documents to indicate that this is the courier package of the dependent right and VFS is just supposed to understand / figure out that this is the dependent's packgage, correct?
