My COPR was issued after Mar 18, 2020 and expired in Dec 2020. Haven't received any correspondence from IRCC yet.
Was wondering if anyone got instructions and got a new COPR?
If they ask for new medicals, then we have to leave within one year just like before?
Repeating and emphasizing my point above: for spousal applicants and others who (by definition) were exempt from the March 18, 2020 copr travel restrictions*, I would strongly suggest raising a webform with IRCC when you are ready to travel (i.e. you have made some plans and wish to travel to Canada as soon as feasible and you're just waiting for/needing travel documents).
It is not obvious to me that IRCC will be aware that you were/are expecting a newly-issued COPR - because again, if you were exempt from the travel restrictions, they may be or have assumed that you were not waiting for anything.
An important note, this may be a bit different for applicants from India given the flight ban and the pause that NDVO/IRCC had on issuing PPRs and COPRs/visas, which is only now being lifted in stages.
*There seems to be a lot of confusion about this. The "holders of COPRs issued after March 18" travel restriction never applied to spousal applicants (or those with immediate family such as spouses) because the immediate family travel exemption meant that they could have travelled at any time (save flight restrictions or other travel bans eg from country of origin).
But it seems clear that some who received COPR after March 18 were not aware of the exemption (to be fair, the government announcements on this were worded in a somewhat complicated way).
