Soft landing in March/April 2020 and coronavirus concerns

[Copingwithlife]

Wish I had sold the car already, now it’s a real hassle.

I know . Bloody pandemic, throwing a wrench into people’s plans, just when you least suspect it

Landing guidance in this link is all very well but every one probably knows how inefficient sending a web form is given not sure , maybe wrong, they even send an automated receipt which would give people a warm feeling.

Well based on what i read here i feel this is just for certian nationals or if you have wisited those countries does not apply to all.

When are you planning

Got my stuff done

Officers were very helpful ... although the first officer was very stern and asked have you not following the news. Why you chose to do this today. I told ger my copr is expiring soon. Then it was the usual process.

She also asked asked how long you plan to stay. I told her i will be back in 2-3 week time frame but today it would be just couple of hour if not less.

Hi there

Can I know if they let you go back? I'm concerned that if I go to Canada to land in the next couple of days? They might ask me to self isolate for 14 days and I won't be able to catch my flight back in 3 days.

Pls let me know

they say "

• you’re affected by service disruptions or travel restrictions related to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19)

the above line is for all nationals,
only problem is once medical expires , PPR application will be re processed and probably need to get new medical test done ,which no one know how much time it will take ,atleast for US residents.

This is text on their website critical part is "and" in bold
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has put special measures in place to help you, if

• you’re a Chinese, Iranian or South Korean national; or
• you’re in China, Iran or South Korea; and
• you’re affected by service disruptions or travel restrictions related to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19)

Canada shuts borders to those who are not Canadian citizen or PR, or american (with exceptions) - comes into effect on 18 March

I'd suggest keeping up to date with IRCC website for clarity if COPR holders are also not allowed.
