COPR and coronavirus

[hinavin]

Hi peeps!Congrats on 4 pointer mails?Could you pls clarify some thing.Address in my profile is of my consultant who is in Canada Yesterday I called ircc.The agent told me that your address shows that you are already in Canada thats why you have not got any update ? Isn't it ridiculous!!They don't know that I have not landed yet?She advised me to fill the web form mentioning my Indian address.Any one else here who has consultant address of Canada in the profile?Has your file been reopened?

Oh darned man! Thanks for heads up @Canaspirant xyz

Haven't received any 4 pointer email. Its NDVO office for me as well - and Mississauga was the original processing centre.

My Mother's sponsorship application has my address in Canada (I live here in ON). I am also the authorised representative. This is just daft if the confusion is because of the representative address. Well in my case, I had also changed my Mom's phone number, contact address, email etc all to my name - just to fool proof any correspondence sent by IRCC comes to me direct.

@Froshy and @Canaspirant xyz - will be keen to know how you folks are progressing. feel free to PM.

Shoutout: Also, some other parents sponsorship applicants were here earlier - this is the time to connect.

Hi,
My PR was approved on 15 March 2020 and expired on 11 August 2020. I could not travel due to the pandemic, and I had raised ready to travel on 01 August 2020.

I received an email from IRCC today asking me to reply to their email if I can travel to Canada and permanently settle in 60 days. The email also had four questionnaires that I need to answer. I have seen many people receiving a similar email. They are asking me to provide the address where I will stay to prove that I settle there permanently, proof of funds, and 14 days mandatory quarantine plan.

Currently, I do not have any permanent address and do not have any job offer. I am thinking of staying at Airbnb for a month (including my quarantine period) and look for an apartment. How can I prove to IRCC that I intend to stay there permanently? (My intention is to permanently settle there)

Can I mention the same to IRCC that I will stay at Airbnb for a month and move to an apartment permanently? Or is there any other better advice that someone can offer me?

Also, can I mention that I will stay at Airbnb and explain that I will undergo my 14 days quarantine plan there?

Waiting for your valuable suggestions and thank you in advance.

To those who have received the 60 day to travel email, are you all depending on an Indian VO?

Hi @nayaskumar : What does single-transit point to Canada mean? Does it mean 1 transit (in between) or direct flight?

I am not sure what to put in "address where you will stay". I am planing to book an AirBnB but not yet booked it. Can I just tell them that I plan to book AirBnB for a month and attach my job offer letter and POF along with the email????

FYI, i am from India and VO is NDVO

@Guti1987 : Does single transit point to Canada mean direct flight or 1 layover(transit)?

Yes

The only difference I have seen in the responses is an additional disclaimer regarding Covid-19 and a more apologetic tone to their reply where they have said that they are trying their best but have a reduced staff. Otherwise, it has been the same generic response.

I haven't raised monthly webforms but I have tried to put in more attachments on each new one(job seach, POF, quarantine plan etc). The last one was the most detailed one I could send so I have now given up on sending any more after seeing yet another standard response from them. I won't be sending a webform or an email again till I hear back from them.
I would suggest the same for you if you have already sent in enough webforms with the details regarding your case.

Got it. Thanks for your response. Even the last one for me was with complete plan and attachments. So i will also wait.
I came across a post on facebook today in a private group for COPR hodlers that NDVO has resumed its services from 10 am to 1 pm. Is this information correct?

Don't know about those timings. But from today people have finally started getting requests from NDVO/IRCC to submit their plans.

I have discussed with my consultant.They told to raise a web form clarifying that the address is of his and I have not yet landed and to give my current address.So I did that.Though I don't know how it's gonna make any difference.

 

[Canaspirant xyz]

Hi, I have also not received any 4 pointer email. Guessing cause my consultant is also based out of Canada, checked with him today for update and he mentioned of having received nothing. I have however been raising webforms by myself (4 since June)
Do let me know what you plan on stating in your webform with an ‘Indian address’

Yes I did that just now .I mentioned that the add given is of consultant and gave my indian address too.
But I am not sure how it makes any difference.They should know we have not landed by copr status?

Interestingly, all the generic responses I received to my webforms so far state that my query has been forwarded to my responsible visa office- NDVO. Besides I did mention that I received my COPR via NDVO and I currently reside in Mumbai, India so I kinda feel like we are running in circles!
either way, just raised another webform stating the indian address.
Maybe they are moving alphabetically and are yet to reach ours!

Congratulations on getting a positive response.
I got the same mail a while back. My visa office is NDVO and my COPR was approved on 15th March.

Any idea what they mean by address where you will stay? Do they mean during quarantine or after? If they are asking about post-quarantine, can I say that I'll be staying with a friend while I look for long term accomodation? Or do I need to show a lease?

Also, what type of proofs should we be submitting for employment plans in Canada (location of work, letter from employer) - do you know any examples of what would help us show intention of looking for work if we don't have a job offer in hand?

I know there are places from where we can order groceries online. But for access to medical care and other essentials - what are the options available?

Would really appreciate it if anyone could shed some light on this.

Thank you!

Cheers,
Pavie

Great, thanks!

Shall try to call them up tomorrow morning. Its quite daft - they should know from the file status that the CoPR is not yet landed status.
