Indians can travel to the countries with which travel bubble has been established on any visa.
For the (lucky) ones who have landed - I have a few questions about using the "ArriveCAN" app and what do during quarantine:
- For the "How are you entering Canada" and "Entry by Air" option. What did you answer to "is your travel exempt?"
- Do you have to report your symptoms everyday through the app?
- What else are you required to do when you are in quarantine other than isolating? Do you have to stay in touch with the authorities?
- Can I provide my textnow number (virtual number) at the airport?
Did you land recently? If so, how did the experience go? What questions were you asked?
Hi Everyone,
This forum has been extremely helpful with handling my Fathers PR case who will be travelling from NY to Toronto.
I wanted to share our experience.
His COPR and Visa Expired in April 2020. He was unable to travel due to COVID and raised a web form advising that he can’t travel. He received generic emails in response to his web form.
He then raised 3 web forms in June and July advising IRCC that he is ready to travel. He received the generic response to all 3. The web forms were very generic advising IRCC that he was ready to travel from NY to Toronto and that his COPR and VISA had expired and if he can be advised on next steps.
However, he raised another web form in August where he went into a lot of detail and advised them of the following.
Quarantine Plans
How will he travel from the airport to the residence
Where he will be residing, address and the person he will be staying with
How will he have access to groceries and medical help if needed
Once he raised the detailed web form, he received the following reply within a few days.
“Please be advised that we will reissue a new COPR and PRV. Kindly send your documents back, including the COPR, directly to our office. Include a prepaid air waybill, a return envelope and a copy of this email with your invoice. Send it to the attention of xxxxxxx.”
Hope the above helps everyone in the same situation.

Thank you for sharing,
Congratulations, and please could you tell us when in August did he raise the webform with his plan? And how long it took them to reply?
Dear All,
My COPR Expired on 25th June 2020, I'm from India, living in UAE. Due to COVID my business is hit by financial loss and have opted for a loan. I believe my situation should improve in a year, paying back loans, securing the required bank balance and should be "Ready to Travel" by Sept 2021.
As referred in our forum, in an instance A New COPR was extended exactly a year from the previous issue expiry date. If the same applies in my case it would be around June 2021 and it will be hard for me to meet that deadline.
My question is:
Is it possible to postpone the landing until Sept 2021?
Appreciate members opinion and advice on my situation.

Sorry for your loss in business.
I think this is very early to answer anything related to 1 year from now. Give it some more time and see how it goes. I believe, IRCC will not refuse your application as you are already approved and overcame all the hurdles.
All the best.
Kindly let us know was he asked to give job offer letter by embassy or while boarding?
