Key Points

  • On June 21, 2021 the Ministry of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship (IRCC) announced that any foreign nationals with valid Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) may enter Canada.
  • Typically, COPR is valid for up to one year, but due to COVID-19 travel restrictions and precautions, some individuals' COPR may have expired. IRCC is working to reissue COPR to foreign nationals who were already exempt from COVID-19 travel restrictions. 
  • For foreign nationals with expired COPRs issued after March 18, 2020, IRCC is preparing instructions for obtaining a new COPR. These instructions and details will be available on the IRCC website this summer.  
  • Foreign nationals with expired COPRs should not attempt to enter Canada until they are issued a new COPR from IRCC.
