As much as I'd love to believe in what @Hemilshah80 said, I think it's because of the medicals, the one year mark (August 2019) has passed and they have expired.
PPR delays due to covid-19
- Thread starter SLP63
- Start date
I don't think all approved applicants will get into Canada in 2020 , expecting not before January - March 2021 now , personally I already started other immigration process with other countries as I have to move on with my life and I don't have time to waste, thats how upset I am with the way they are handling the situation , we don't deserve this as we spent many years preparing for this.
Could be.... But I still have some hope they will add immigrants to the exempt on travel restrictions. Then they can issue ppr's and visa's again so we can travel before all restrictions are gone.
If not, they will have to welcome all immigrants (including backlog) and at the same time the tourists which will be too many people at one time

Think you are right , we are heading to 2021 like this , and this is a very bad handling of the situation in my opinion , when they will open in 2021 there would be 20 or 30 thousands new PR all heading to either Toronto or Vancouver for most of them practically in the same period of time , this will create stress on the real estate housing and job market , it will create a price inflation on housing and it will be harder than ever to find a job as all new applicants will be competing among each others for same jobs ( as most new PR are from the software industry) and same housing options, it s going to be very hard.
Exactly my thoughts , if they don't exempt people so they can enter Canada gradually , it would be a nightmare to either find a house or job as all the new PRs either head to Toronto or Vancouver ( for most of them according to stats).
On that point I hope that they will start welcoming new immigrants gradually not in a bulk because of aforementioned reasons.
+ I want to believe they will start clearing backlog first not vice versa.
Hi there, I saw your comments on the other thread as well. I completely understand all this frustration as I myself am among thousands who are waiting to receive some kind of news from IRCC. All yhat I said on the other thread was some kind of offer to keep calm. I really do believe that this situation will sooner or later come to an end. But I also see the points you have mentioned about how we need to get on with our lives, valid. So, maybe we can simply make a very polite petition to IRCC and maybe even Mr. Trudeau and when many people sign it they may come to releaze how hard the situation is for immigrants.
Hi, we are all in the same boat as you are. I am also from India. Waiting for PPR. By the way, have you ever ordered GCMS notes? if yes, what is the status? The processing time ending date is a standard 6 months bar. DO NOT depend on that.
Yes Anchit,
I'd applied for SINP express entry outland from India. And yes you are right I think our applications are at least priority I guess.
Finger crossed.
Dude, I think you wobble quite a lot. In one of your posts on 1st august you mentioned your perspective about Canadian government which was reasonable at that time as per your thoughts, now you have different perspective. Important for all applicants is some form of progression in this situation. It is important to generate pressure on Canadian Government. People travel to Canada this year or not will be individual choice. Paramount thing is decisions on their applications. What I came to know from one of the Canadian Lawyer that Canada surely will start clearing application with change in COPR terms. let's see what is in kitty for us all. So don't loose faith. From my country we have formed groups on social media to continuously probe for a definite answer. I'm confident that something will fall in place by October end for many but not for all.
At the same time I can also tell you that for any ruling government pressure from opposition is the most terrible one. Only 5 months have passed but again I will reiterate that it is important to create pressure to show them our eagerness.
There are two possibilities. Either they'll ask you for Re-meds or simply extend the validity of your medicals. However the one thing you can be sure about is you'll surely get a PPR once the visa offices resume the services
Don't Worry. There are many sailing in the same boat. It's the Pandemic causing the delay. Once the offices get back to routine , things will start working out.
