So wanted to update you guys.

I flew in last week from Boston and a passenger on board tested positive. Officials traced me as well and I just got a test done and in self quarantine until I get the results.

I developed a slight fever yesterday.

I was lucky enough to have an apartment to quarantine myself in. For those who are relying on Airbnb and travelling with kids, be careful. It can happen to anyone.
Good luck buddy - i hope the test is negative

While they tested him did you waited for his results or results were ready on board?

How is the test done? Is it a blood test, swab test, x-ray or something else? What exactly do they do during the test?

Whatever the case i have been told to keep my posts civil. So taking precautions.

Don't travel prior to announcement. It risks your health and others and also the reputations. One spike in corona virus active cases might lead to devastating results so please don't contribute in it by travelling immediately without taking any precautions.

I am planning to write web form. Do you think this kind of letter is OK?

First I will ask for extension, then:
Situation in the USA regarding COVID19 is not stable. The province I am living in issued a stay at home order to help reduce the spread of the coronavirus in the area. The restrictions will take place from March 24, 2020 and will require people to stay at home when possible except for essential activities. Additionally, there is a possibility to capture coronavirus infection while travelling to Canada. We are also worried that currently it might be challenging for getting settled as a new permanent resident in Canada.

Do you think these are enough to tell?

Job market is seriously hit in Toronto:

I am in IT and in last one month and a half I gave 10+ interviews in Toronto based companies. I had 4 interviews (last round) scheduled in first week of April and already cleared all rounds for 2 companies and was to meet them for final discussion this week. In last 6 days all of them either cancelled the interviews or dropped the openings altogether. Received the last cancellation email a minute ago :( . I had a temp Canada number from spikko and was getting atleast 2-3 calls everyday from US or Canada based recruiters. Now there is complete silence. No recruiter call from last week. No new linked in job posts coming in too.

Is anyone else also going through similar cancellations or is it just my profile?

Seems like even if I get there it's gonna be extremely difficult to get a job till Corona goes away completely. o_O

Thanks for the wishes guys, appreciate it.

It's a nasal swab that goes deep into your nose. I was tested at home.

it is definitely not a good time to travel. hope IRCC will cancel travel of COPR holders. It also depends on us, we should write web form and ask for extension.

For God sake, please only speak fr yourself. Dont travel if you dont want to, let everybdy decide for themselves. Ask fr extension if you want, but thats not what everybody wants to do, so there is no 'We' in this.

“Deadline for responding to an ITA
Upon receipt of an ITA, a candidate has 60 calendar days to do one of the following:

- Submit a complete application for permanent residence (APR) in their online account. This includes providing all supporting documentation up front.

-Decline the ITA in their online account”

As the CIC website states that there are 60 days to submit the application after receiving ITA but somehow mine is 90 days (ITA Feb 19th and 58 days left to submit). Is it strange or because of Covid-19?
