Hope ur intuitions come true

Where are those who received PPR after remeds and needed to use 2 way courier service? Any update on new CoPR expiry date?

Has anyone received a reply from PHAC? I wrote them a while ago because I'm not part of any exemption group, however, my situation is a bit complicated as my visa expired on the country of residency and going back to home country is not possible. I provided all documents, etc. and this was the reply.

Dear Mr. ---,

Thank you for your correspondence related to your wish to enter Canada.

By way of this email, the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) is of the opinion that you would likely be permitted entry to Canada, and would not likely be exempt from quarantine, based on the assessment below.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented complexities and challenges in our country and globally. The Government of Canada continues to implement border measures to limit the introduction and spread of COVID-19.

Prohibition of Entry Order

At this time, the Government of Canada has prohibited foreign nationals from all countries from entering Canada for non-essential travel through the Order in Council bla bla bla.

Under these orders, all travel of an optional or discretionary nature, including tourism and recreation, is prohibited.


As a Canadian permanent resident you are permitted by right to enter Canada.

Mandatory Isolation Order

The Government of Canada has implemented the Emergency Order bla bla bla

Kind regards,
Emergency Orders and Policy Interpretation Team
Public Health Agency of Canada

Does it mean I can try to entry with this email?
My plan is to travel mid-Jan. CoPr/MED expires in Mar-21. Issued on Aug/2020.

Also, I got particularly interested in the head of e-mail, with REf#, PHAC-COVID-EO-EXT-WP, 4 dig and my name.

Was your visa issued after March 18??? When have you received such reply???

There is no point in chasing the emails from Health Office if it is regarding travel in restrictions. This email is only suggesting that the person can travel if he/she is Permanent Resident. The CoPR holders need to land to first get their PR status activated. So this email is just a response to the query the person asked and is not an Authorization letter to allow traveling if not in IRCC's published exemption list.

Hey Guys, could you please take a moment to clarify my doubt.

I have received a response to my last raised webform saying 'your application should be reviewed shortly'.

Do you guys think it's a good sign, does it mean file has been placed in queue? do they actually review it shortly? If yes, in how many weeks do you think my file would be opened?

This is an assurance email from IRCC to keep the applicants updated and calm in these uncertain times. Some people have also received "We are still working on your application" email and your email sounds much better than that email. Stay hopeful!

Correct, my current/expired CoPR has my current passport number.
But from some forums (linked here) people mentioned that a new CoPR is not issued when passport is renewed.
If they issue a new CoPR for new passport, then that's going to be another long wait...! I don't need to get the passport stamped thankfully; I never got anything stamped as its not required for mine.
This was why I am a bit hesitant to renew my passport and just take the risk and fly with 1-2 months validity on it.

Anyone with experience?

if you passport has a validity of 6 months it should be ok.

Can anybody tell if COPR holders from the PNP-Outland stream also receive 4 point emails and authorization letters or not?

I am under PNP and i received the 4pt email

Hi @Lachelle,

If you don't mind, can you please share sample 4 pointer email?
I never saw 4 pointer email and everyone is talking in forum, so wanted to see a sample 4 pointer email.

Thanks a lot for clearing my doubt. I hope we all receive AL/extensions real soon.

 

[plutothewestie]

Hi
How did you get the extension? Did ask for an extension after you receive your COPR?
I got my COPR in Oct which will be expiring n February 2021. I asked for an extension and they asked me to send my Passports back. I still didn’t get the passports back and waiting for it. Did you also go through the same procedure?
thanks.

Hi there, I am in the same boat with you with COPR expiring in Feb 2021, did you redo the medical exam again when ask for extension? Thanks!
