Absolutely. If the COPR has expired, it has expired now because of COVID; it's nothing that the applicant has done. If the COPR has expired, some of them are being requested to redo a security clearance or redo their medical checks, which means they have to go out into the community, go to the police department to do their security check and go to do a medical, wait for the results and then wait for a new COPR to be issued. Again, it's a waste of resources.
The easy fix is to automatically add a 12-month period to the COPR date by ministerial instruction or public policy instruction, or whatever, and allow these people come. It doesn't make any sense to require an applicant to redo a medical or a police clearance. They just did one in the past 12 months.
