I’m flying on 21st too!!
I am checking regarding CoPR as well. Let me know when you have an update.
I will update when I have any.
Thanks

Sure, will do. Going to wait for some more time and see if IRCC posts something related on their website.

I just read in a group that CoPR is not allowed. But I am waiting for some official confirmation too!!!

If you haven’t completed your landing, you aren’t a permanent resident, so the ban will apply. I would expect IRCC will be extending COPR expiry dates until after it is lifted.

I preponed my flight to 21st March ( couldn't find an earlier flight ). But just now Canada banned entry to everyone except citizens and PRs. I am trying to find out if CoPRs will be allowed to land or not.

Please do update.. my COPR expires on 10th April.

Hi guys, I just spoke to my immigration lawyer. He said that COPR is also considered under residents category and we are good to travel. My flight is on 19th March from Mumbai.

Hope you guys have a safe travel.

Cheers !!

Wrong. Until you actually land as a PR, you are a foreign national with no rights to enter Canada.

This is what my immigration lawyer has said. If you have any difference of opinion you may check with your lawyer or CIC directly.

Guys - I'd suggest all of you plz raise the webforms too highlighting that your copr has been approved and how you have planned to travel , left your jobs , etc. That might help. I already did.

I don't need to check with anyone. People who have not landed as PRs are NOT residents; they are foreign nationals.

I have filled the web-form. Will keep everyone updated as and when I will get any response.

Just spoke to a CBSA officer, she told me that people with approved COPR cannot come in to Canada and do their landing right now. Would next step be filling the webform for an extension or wait for further announcements? Mine expires this June 2020.
