COPR and coronavirus
- Thread starter zeus89
- Start date
Hi everyone.
I apologise beforehand for asking a question that may have been answered already; I am just anxious about the whole situation.
My flight to Toronto was booked for 27 March with a 48 hour stay in Dubai (I availed an Emirates Airlines offer). I cancelled my flight immediately after the travel ban was announced. Please note that COPR holders were not exempt at the time. My ticket is still on hold. Emirates advised me to not cancel it as they can rebook it for a later date.
I understand that if you can travel before your COPR expires, then you may do so without informing anyone. Otherwise, you are supposed to raise a webform explaining why you cannot travel.
My situation is that there are no restrictions on outbound flights from my country. Moreover, I can see that there are Emirates flights operating from the beginning of May.
Is the fact that I chose not to travel due to the obvious health concerns a valid reason to raise a webform?
My COPR expires on May 12.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Probably end of June or July depending on when it is safe to travel .... What about you ??
You may consider following things
1. Wait for few weeks provided if as per your assessment things will improve in your country in few weeks.
2. Are you travelling alone or with family?
Not sure whether IRCC will consider health concern a valid reason....but based on information they have put on their website..they should consider it.
I have my CoPR expiry date in May 2nd week, my whole application was handled by my consultant. Could anybody confirm if I should raise the webform myself or ask the consultant to do the same? I am hopeful that things will be better soon but I also feel that I should raise webform. Please suggest.
Hi everyone,
Sorry if I am repeating the question in case it's already answered earlier in the thread.
My copr expires on 18th June and I planned to soft land in May and then hard land once the covid situation has calmed down a bit.
The tickets I have are 16th may from Delhi and flying back from Toronto on 25th may. When I booked these tickets ircc had not imposed any travel ban and there was no information that I had regarding a 14 day self isolation.
Since my travel is for only 9 days I cannot possibly isolate myself for 14 days. Any suggestions? Can we get an extension in such cases.
Anyone in a similar situation kindly help.
Thanks in advance

Even my application was handled by my consultant ,but he flatly refused to help me out in extension process so I did it on my own.Positive thing is I don't have to enquire the consultant again and again abt the progress.All emails will come to my mail box directly.So you decide what suits you better.
Soft landings are actively discouraged currently by CBSA given they are considered non essential travel as you can see by some posts on this forum. If the quarantine order is still in place which nobody can do more than speculate there would be zero chance of any exemption from that.
Would you get an extension to your COPR again nobody can do more than speculate given you are probably able to travel so not travelling could maybe regarded as not being inclined to travel versus not able to plus what might good for one not necessarily good for another.. Again there are a lot of opinions expressed on here whether people travelling in May might get extensions or not, only IRCC can give that answer not this forum.
As people understand it IRCC are obviously not keen to start reissuing COPRs if travel is possible in the near future so maybe you need to raise a web form to record your concerns in the system. Given the thousands of web forms getting any answer might take a while though
While filling the webform https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp what should be selected for this
Have you submitted an application for:
- No
Have you submitted an application for:
- permanent residence
- student
- visitor
- worker
- No
1. The situation is actually worsening here; more and more cases everyday.
2. I am travelling alone
Logic dictates that health concerns should be a valid reason. I mean governments everywhere are advising people to not travel. However, knowing something concrete would help calm the nerves.
My COPR is expiring in month of June and my current country of residence(Saudi Arabia) has cancelled all international and national flights from March. Now I have following questions,
Should I raise webform right away or should I wait till end of April to see if flights start again?
Second I don’t know my visa office. Passport submission request came from Abu Dhabi but visa is issued at Riyadh. What is my visa office as per above information.
Kindly provide your suggestions.
