I have same issues. Recently recieved my Gcms notes and it states application approved since April, visa and copr are in the notes but I have not received PPR. I contacted cic and got a response that they are short staffed due to covid and will be contacting me very soon. It's been about 3weeks now but still nothing. Profile has not changed either. Do I need to contact them again? It shows in the notes that Visa will expire Aug 1st 2020.
GCMS notes say PR approved in January, but no COPR/PPR letters or communication from IRCC
- Thread starter kabzik
- Start date
hellow... i am canadian sponsoring my wife from india.. she done with medical and biometric in January 2020.. on gc keys it saying we are processing applications... my question is that can I apply GCMS notes to know details or just wait for their email.. i know it covid19 but it been more then 6 months after medical and biometric recieved on applications.. please reply me if you have some knowledge
I fear we all face the very real situation of limbo..
As of now, international travel for "non-essential" purposes is not happening, and the way I see it, till that changes we are going to be waiting.
The truly sad part of it is that we stand to suffer at the hands of inept leadership as they continue to bungle up management of COVID-19 in our respective countries.
As a sequence of events, we could expect a lifting of travel restrictions first (subject to control over the situation in various countries). After that, perhaps they would continue processing of our applications, most likely ask for another medical and then complete the procedure.
The good news is that there was an all stream Express Entry Draw about a week ago; perhaps a sign of positive change. They may look to clear the backlog (the likes of us) before getting to the new cases. That being said, cautious optimism is probably the way to go. I think one may need to accept that this will take till October to get resolved at the very least.
It's pointless to expect them to give decision when there is no office to complete the documentation process. They know the status, as do most of us as well. For them to say "Your application is approved" without having the means to further process the case is just opening a fresh can of worms. Pray what would be the point of that?
So yeah; one can only hope that VACs open soon. That may be followed by some "Decisions" from CIC.
As for contacting CIC, well I will be doing that... regularly.... It is a truism that "out of sight is out of mind" and I would like to keep my case fresh on their minds.
Good luck guys
(P.S- We lot have a taste of what purgatory is like. One can only hope it isn't eternal)

Hi there
My situation is also similar to all of you. I received a remedical request on 9 April 2020 and after sharing the same, My application was approved on 15 April 2020. I can see in Gcms notes that COPR document is in printing queue.
My timeline is
23 March 2018 - OINP application submitted
14 June 2018 - Nomintion received
29 June 2018 - AOR
23 August 2018 - Background check started
13 March 2019 - file transferred to NDVO
9 April 2020 - Remedical request received
15 April 2020 - Application approved after the submission of medicals.

Same situation, but as I know being held the COPR is because the applicant or one of family members is oversea (outside of Canada). My case is my spouse is currently oversea. What is your case guys? Where are you and your family members are currently? Let's draw a pattern.
My whole family is in Nigeria. The last time I wrote them, the response was that they're short staff due to the pandemic and they're trying to get most applications done as fast as possible... In my notes it says visa expires Aug 8th, I guess that doesn't matter anymore, they will definitely come up with something. Medicals are expired as well, dunno if I should go for another medicals.
My parents are in India with me and my brother is in Canada on study vis, now work permit.
I am 2017 applicant. added my wife in March 2019. Got medical request in April 2020 but due to covid couldn't get medicals done. Did medical in July 2020. medical passed July 2020. Contacted cic and they told everything is done on my file and officer needs to approve your application and send virtual landing email or something. received nothing till today.
file is in etobicoke office. Is there anyone in the same boat as me? waiting for finalization? thanks
