- Start date
Wait. Given that you have 5 months and there is a very strong chance travel restrictions will be eased before then, you should be fine.
I got my PR in September 2019. It will expire on 5 July 2020. I am in India..Becos of current covid-19 crisis, I couldnt travel to canada now since none of the airlines are open. I have submitted IRCC webform for my visa extension yesterday. Now I m waiting for the confirmation of my visa extension. How long it will take to get confirmation of visa extension? Also how long the airlines will b close?
As far as aware IRCC and can be corrected are not issuing specific or general extensions at the moment but requesting people to submit a web form as you have done and then again once they can travel. This may change at some point to some blanket extension process but not for now as nobody has idea when this may end .
Nobody has any idea when airlines will start up again with regular schedules but that can of course differ based on where someone is flying from.
There are many other posts ohere too many to list discussing same subject even with people whose COPRs have already expired versus yours in 2 months time.
