Permanent residence applicants who have an expired Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) and permanent resident visa (PRV) who are ready to travel to Canada do not need to contact IRCC through the Web form or processing office email. IRCC will now be contacting these applicants once they are approved to come to Canada.
Valid COPR and PRV
Travelling from any country other than the US
If the COPR and PRV were issued on or before March 18, 2020 and are still valid, the applicant
· is exempt from the travel restrictions
· can travel to Canada for non-discretionary reasons with the COPR and PRV to settle and live in Canada as a permanent resident and
· must have an acceptable plan to quarantine for 14 days in Canada
Applicants must check the issue date in the Application Details section of their COPR to see if this applies to them.
Expired COPR and PRV
IRCC may have contacted applicants or will contact them to ask them if they are able to travel to Canada now to live and settle here. Once they are approved to come to Canada, officers will issue the applicants the documents they need to travel. Applicants should not be reaching out to IRCC.
