COPR and coronavirus
- Thread starter zeus89
- Start date
How long after raising ready to travel webform did you get email from them??
My husband has raised a webform too and we need to travel SOON just waiting on their reply! The delay is so so daunting! Wasn’t aware it would take sooooo long to get authorization to travel!
hoping You got a response within few days..will give me some hope too!
No personal experience of ETA from NDVO is present on this thread yet.
I am planning for a direct flight so I guess the concern of connecting flight being delayed gets lost there.
But yes, the only worry is that will they deport me back to India or not. Since my COPR was issued on 20th March.
Ideally, they shouldn't but this risk is the only hurdle in my mind
I think all you can do is to wait, waiting is painful that's the reason I want to take my chances to leave rather than waiting.
I don't understand the logic behind 18th March thing. If you want to open it then open it for all, why such a boundary. That's all the concern is.
Yeah I am working on something in India itself which keeps me busy as of now.
That has been my biggest pet peeve about this as well. I don't get the March 18 fixation at all. They could have just stopped issuing new PPRs after March 18 till the Covid situation stabilized because that makes sense. If people dont have PPR requests or subsequent COPRs then they would have put their Canada plans on hold and not been in this uncertain situation right now.
Issuing COPRs even after March 18 and then not letting us in based on this date makes no sense at all. It has given us a false sense of hope and for those that have quit their jobs because of this, their lives have been thrown into disarray.
Thats just my two cents on this.

At that time in March, IRCC was put under pressure by people who had planned (book tickets, accommodation, sell car and house in home country) for settling in Canada prior to travel restrictions were implemented on 18th March 2020. In the best interest they should have increased the validity maybe up to a year of CoPRs that are issued after 18th March.
If I remember correctly March 18 was the date on which the order of travel restrictions came in to being and it provided as under
Prohibition
2 Any foreign national is prohibited from entering Canada if they arrive from a foreign country other than the United States.
This does not apply to
t) a person whose application for permanent residence was approved under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, and who received written notice of the approval before noon, Eastern Daylight Time on March 18, 2020, but who has not yet become a permanent resident under that Act;
I also think that now this classification of applicants on the basis of date on which the order of travel restriction was passed has become redundant. All people who have unexpired visas should be allowed to fly as the people with expired visas will ask for authorisation anyway.
Canada has extended the travel ban for the month of September.

It is highly recommended, so in that sense yes.
Technically, travel or medical insurance is not mandatory.However, it is a small cost and protects one from huge risky expenses.
Personally, I would always get it!
Thanks for the response. I amassuming your husband was response by you. My wife is also sponsored by me and her Visa has expired.
Just wanted to know, what you submitted for employment proof.
Thanks
