Hi @legalfalcon
@caipsnotes
I am in Canada , applied for pr under cec last year in June and my previous medical was expired in may this year and i am asked to do remedical 2 weeks ago before this new public policy for medical exemption. Does this new policy applies to me as well? If yes, then should I send them a webform etc as I only have 30 days to complete my new medical

If they are willing to process non-eligible TRV applications from past then what on earth will make them hold our spouses from travel. But IRCC does it's illogical things/policies so will hold my cheers until I see some effects on our cases.
Couldn’t agree more

Hi guys, I am a principal applicant with an outland dependent. We are both have valid work permits. I am currently inside Canada and I have eCOPR. My spouse (dependent) is outside Canada now. She did not receive eCOPR and did not land yet. She does NOT have a valid visa right now. Here are my questions:
  1. How is the status of my application suppose to change when I received my eCOPR?
  2. What are the next steps for my spouse and what documents she needs to be able to come to Canada?
Any input would be appreciated. Especially if someone can bring more clarity because it seems confusing right now.
@legalfalcon It would BE GREAT to hear a piece of advice from you.

1. As soon as you receive a COPR, you become a PR.

2. Since you are a PR, your spouse is exempt from travel restrictions and can travel to Canada if your spouse has a visa. If not, then you will have to wait until IRCC issues one. Your spouse will need a PR visa and COPR.

My case is kinda similar to yours. We got a mail telling us that our PR is almost complete and that the principal applicant will soon get COPR. And that the dependant can submit his passport withing 30 days when the principal applicant got PR. In the mail there where photo specifications and what documents to add when submitting the passport plus a copy of this same mail sent to us. Well we didn't waste time. The next morning June 24 I took my passport straight to my VO and submitted. I assume it's a PPR letter. I pray am right dou
So after you got your CoPR was a different letter sent for your spouse to submit the Passport? In my case, I was the only one that got a CoPR but my wife has been waiting for PPR since March 14th, 2021. Also in my case, the CoPR was never addressed to the dependent so its kinda confusing

@nwachuku From my knowledge, she can't. She needs a passport submission letter which is PPR. You can call IRCC or use web form to ask for a PPR.
Okay, I have heard about people that submitted their passport with their spouse's CoPR. Just trying to have someone here who has done it before confirm this.

@Yubsco Did your wife got portal email/login or copr yet?

@nurzohra Did you got a portal email/login or copr yet?

My outland spouse got her visa stamped today on her passport. Validity is only less than 6 months for some reason.
No, I haven't received the portal yet. I just received an email yesterday confirming that they have received my webform which I had sent to confirm I am in Canada and that they will forward it to the responsible officer. My spouse's visa is valid for 1 year.
Congratulations, don't worry your spouse should be here within few weeks.
