60 day period to inform IRCC of ability to travel

[BillyWescott]

Hi all,

Does someone know what the red passage means? What 60 day period are they talking about?

Re-opened applications
Approved applications where the principal applicant has not already become a permanent resident can be re-opened in GCMS by cancelling the COPR and PRV and removing the final decision.

When to review a re-opened application
Once the applicant informs IRCC via the Web form that they are able to travel, a re-opened application may be re-approved provided that the applicant and their family members, whether accompanying or not, have valid immigration medical examinations, criminal and security checks and passports.

If the 60-day waiting period elapses and the applicant has not informed us that they are able to travel, a note should be placed in the application, and it should be brought forward for review for an additional 60 days.

It's an internal instruction to officers about how to handle the file in the circumstance described i.e., bf for another 60 days and check again.

suppose you've received your COPR and the validity is until 1st August 2020. you cannot travel so you inform CiC. they cancel your existing COPR and put a placeholder of 60 days starting 1st August (or the day you inform them). it is your responsibility to inform CiC of your travel plans by 1st Oct (60 days). if CiC has not got any details from you, on 1st oct they will again put a place holder for another 60 days. now you have upto 1st dec (+60 days) to inform CiC of your travel date. hope this helps.
