Expired COPR Parents Could Not Travel To Canada The Next Steps

[sandeep]

I sponsored my parents under parents sponsorship application. They received their COPR but due to covid, they could not travel. As a result, their COPR documents have been expired. What could be the next steps to follow to make them eligible to enter Canada?

Your parents are allowed to travel to Canada. You can see the official guidelines given by IRCC below:

If the COPR and PRV were issued on or before March 18, 2020 but are now expired, the applicant is exempt from the travel restrictions. The applicant can travel to Canada for non-discretionary reasons with the COPR and PRV in order to settle and live in Canada as a permanent resident and must have an acceptable plan to quarantine for 14 days in Canada.

You need to email IRCC with expired COPR They will asked some additional information to confirm the travel requirements and then you can book airline ticket for your parents.
