So I called and IRCC says to be a bit more patient. Please do let me know if you get any update.
Ah, please be more patient... "Sorry caller, I busy making tea to drink and my newspaper too many things to read first. Please be patient. I start work at 5.29pm"

Yes at least 3 of us on the forum including me. Replied with option 1 almost 10 days back. Nothing yet.
Their 10 days in IRCC physics really mean 2 months for us... their concept of time are very different in their moon world ^^

I didn't receive any email. Pre-March 18, expired August 2020. Radio silence from IRCC since I received my CoPR. Anyone in same situation as me that hasn't heard back from IRCC?

PS: I proactively renewed the medicals on December 2020. This still hasn't been updated to MyGC Key profile. Also the progress bar on my profile shows "100% complete". Absolutely nothing has been updated there since they issued my CoPR in January 2020.
I also want to proactive do medicals, even they forbid me. I just want do it and tell them "hey, I did it even you say no. Why? Because you retards are slow and I am proactive and save you time in advance" ^^

What the HELL is this? I thought cases of expired CoPRs wouldn't be closed because of COVID. What do they mean by "re-assess if you meet the requirements". Does that mean we need to do the language tests all over again? Damn, that's so insane.

Is this email different than the two options email? Anyone knows why they are treating people differently? Is there a trend we can already draw conclusions upon?

I still haven't heard jack s*** about IRCC since my RTT webform in November 2020. CoPR expired in August 2020.
There is feedback form on ircc website. I complain them daily. I tell them they are so slow that I have time to be grandma before they issue new copr. I no insult them. I just tell them what everyone think.

I got this too. Thing to notice here is that they are asking to take a survey as per their records, we seem to have received a decision on our application. Which is pretty strange as the application status has not changed.
I no receive that, but I want to. I want to tell them how awful they are.

With all this drama of new '2-option' emails, I cannot help but think that IRCC is openly running a scam now.
An agent told me that new applicants and students to Canada are decreasing because they see the backlog. So now IRCC has come up with a new way of showing that they are working on things. Just another way of minting money from new applicants while the existing ones rot, expire and disappear into oblivion :(
It's trick to pretend. Deep down, they are still reading newspaper sitting on toilet and drink tea.

The email I received from IRCC I believe is slightly different from others. See below
I see what IRCC is do. They are closing applications to clear back log..... lazy way. If we notice, they just say they reopen. But then, to pretend to the government they serve they show nice statistics backlog clearing, but really it's lie.

We must complain to their boss/government about these lazy tactics...

Here is my observation :

1. Till December, IRCC accepted RTT sent by expired COPR holders. In response, 4/7 pointer emails were received to determine if people could travel with existing medicals being valid. Upon satisfactory answers ALs were issued.
2. Wherever medicals had already expired, IRCC could not issue ALs. (some did upfront medicals and submitted via webform)
3. At start of year 2021, IRCC explicitly requested to not to send any RTT, rather mentioned that they will connect upfront.
4. For above point, people are now receiving the email that I mentioned I received. There are no "2 options" anymore and hence assume this is different.

Anyone agrees to my observations ?

Yes. I also felt the same. Every now and then they are changing the process pattern.

@Fmegha86 : received this email just half an hour back. did you hear back from IRCC on your respose? Just as a background, details of timelines in signature. I never raised a RTT form, so seems IRCC is proactively contacting expired COPR holders . Curious to know what all process steps needs to be repeated. Medicals seems to be certain. PCC and POF ? may be?
Replied to this email today, the wait begins :)

So my COPR expired today. What can I expect to happen in the upcoming days (if anything)? I am post-March 18 COPR. I would like to move in July/August and my brother is a Canadian citizen, so in that sense, I am qualified for an exemption. Should I proactively contact IRCC and ask them for a COPR extension or should I just wait and see what happens?
