Dear Moderator,
I have received the COPR recently.
Under the Surveillance code there is a number “1” written.
What does it mean?
do I have to do any medical examination to be able to land?
Also, as I am going to Toronto, does it mean I have to buy private insurance to be granted the entry?
Thanks
Mohammad

Hi,
I am. A mother and am sponsoring my daughter. After she received her visa together with her permanent resident paper there was a condition and it says "must report for medical examination, surveillance or treatment at specified timesand places and provide proof of compliance… Then it says surveillance code 2.02. My question is does she has to undergo another medical exam again o rwhat am I going to do? Would she still be able to come and be with me here in Canada?
Thank you,
Jocelyn
