COPR and coronavirus
- Thread starter zeus89
- Start date
I have not received any 4 pointer note etc. Raised 3 ready to travel forms between June and August.
Had received one letter in early August asking for demonstrating that the travel will be permanent not temporary and quarantine will be allowed etc.
I had responded with Canadian utility bills, detailed quarantine plan for Mom and cancelled flight credits for 1 one way ticket and a second ticket which was return. After that acknowledgements that the documents have been shared to the right office.
(Applied Sponsorship for Mom from Mississauga VO and NDVO processed the CoPR)
Since then just one generic response in late August/ early Sept. from NDVO office - saying C19 has disrupted processing etc. No reference was made to the detailed evidences and documents.
Made two calls to CIC call centre. A month's gap between the two so I dont hog the lines. Agents were polite both times. But simply confirmed that the officer had duly received all my documents. (note: this was obviously long before 4 pointer emails started pouring in for folks).
The agent also mentioned, we need to wait for officer to take the next steps. No information was available as to what or when the next step from the visa officer would or could be.
An Open Invitation to Concerned Personnel - IRCC Management et al
Have expressed my total lack of comprehension before! But there is hardly much left to say or do isn't it!
As a bonafide tax payer, who has proudly contributed to Canada in every way - financially, socially and developing ideas, as who has never taken a dime from governmental agencies, no CERB or any assistance or subsidized programs - it would not be too much to expect the same responsible citizen and government services in return, would it?
This is a highly unusual, below standard level of service from the government. Billions are being spent on COVID 19. Solid 8 months to get their acts together. Over 50 to 75% lower workload for IRCC (unlike health related, CRA or EI type offices). IRCC has not shared any reasons for below grade, irresponsible services rendered.
When all other departments have pulled their socks up. Enjoyed unprecedented higher levels of funding - IRCC to my knowledge did not loose any funding despite record low processing volumes. I am aware of NDVO staff who were provided special transportation September onwards. Good. Unaware whether they were provided with remote WFH directions - but if not - WHY NOT?
If any IRCC personnel is 'sniffing' these messages - please connect with us in concrete way to share what plans you have? (Clearly twitter, facebook etc are reproducing your 'politically correct' namesake messages. No real plans or updates. Simply enough for you to claim you have kept us in the loop.
I am willing and eager to hear your reasons of failure to provide quality service (all things C19 well considered and allowed for). Return the courtesy. Please,
Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

Thankyou so much.I just called my agent.Till now no mail.Wish u all the luck with ETA soon.
Not me.
Cant even count the number of webforms I have raised because my ticket was for 27th Sept, and now I could only postpone to 24th oct, so i'm still doing it
no reply yet received for teh four pointer email, we did not send any confirmation however we did mention few hotels and availability and plan for quarantine, i.e what will be part of medical care, essential goods, food etc . and we also mentioned that once they confirm or provide extension to COPR we will be booking the flight as well as the hotel.
I have raised a webform on 7th Sept got a generic response on 16th Sept.
Post that didnt receive the 4 pointer email.
That is quite courageous if I may say so!
I would have thought of actually keeping the ticket open somehow if possible. Unless your airline is changing tickets without change fee and fare difference. Or did you already think of that and its not feasible from the airline's end?!
Best wishes for 24 October possibilities!
