Emergency: PR Visas CANCELLED after issuance, flight is next week! Has this happened to anyone?

[okpv25]

Hey everyone, I'm in a complete state of panic and I'm hoping someone here has been through something similar or has any advice.

Here's our timeline:

1. We applied for Permanent Residence (FSW).
2. We got approved! We received PPR, sent our passports, and got them back with the shiny PR visas and COPR inside. This was over a month ago.
3. We booked our flights. Following the instructions in the IRCC letter that said "do not make any irrevocable plans like buying flights UNTIL you have your passports and visas," we bought non-refundable tickets for November 22, 2025 (next week!).
4. The bombshell. Out of the blue, we received an email from IRCC stating our visas were no longer valid and had been cancelled. We were told to return the counterfoil documents and wait for a re-assessment.
5. A glimmer of hope? A second email followed, saying the initial decision from September was "cancelled" and a re-evaluation is required. A new decision will be made.

We are utterly devastated and confused. We followed their rules to the letter and now we're facing a massive financial loss and our entire move is in jeopardy.

My questions to the community:

• Has anyone EVER experienced this? A full cancellation after visas were physically placed in your passports?
• Does anyone know what could possibly trigger this? We are wondering if it's a system error.
• What can we do? We've sent webforms, but time is running out. Our flight is in days.

We feel so helpless. Any insight, similar stories, or advice would be a lifeline right now. Thanks for reading.

Have you received approval after this letter, or what is the current status?

COPR Got Cancelled after passport stamping

This is in reference to your application for permanent residence in Canada.


The Confirmation of Permanent Residence (CoPR) documents and Visa Counterfoil (expiry date of
) currently in your possession have been cancelled. Your application has been re-opened and
therefore your CoPs are not valid for travel.


This includes documents: XXXXXXXXX


Please follow the instructions in the Ready for Visa letter and return the COPR and Visa Counterfoil currently in your possession. Please do not attempt to travel to Canada until further notice.


For more information on permanent residence in Canada, please visit our web site at: http://www.canada.ca/immigration.


Thank you for the interest you have shown in Canada.

Has anybody received this letter after COPR approval and passport stamping?


My COPR expires on July 20, 2026. Is there any possibility that I will need to undergo a medical exam again? My medical was updated in my file on July 21, 2025.
