2/2 If your CoPR was issued on or after March 19, 2020, and you are travelling from outside the United States, then the travel restrictions apply. You will have to wait until those restrictions change to come to Canada.

If we already approved your permanent resident application
If you’re outside Canada
Note: If your confirmation of permanent residence (CoPR) is expired, follow these steps.
You won’t be allowed to enter Canada right now if you’re coming to validate your CoPR and become a permanent resident, unless you are exempt from the travel restrictions.
You are exempt from the current travel restrictions and can come to Canada if you have a valid COPR and:
- the COPR was issued on or before March 18, 2020 or
- the COPR was issued after March 18th, 2020 and you are an immediate family member sponsored by a Canadian citizen or permanent resident (note that grandparents are not considered immediate family members and cannot come to Canada at this time) or
- you’re currently living in the U.S. and will be coming to Canada directly (transiting through the U.S. to Canada doesn’t apply
So, parents(not grandparents) who got their COPRs issued under PGP program are exempt from travel resitrictions.
I got the passport request letter Aug21.
Letter has my old mailing address on it even though I have updated it on CIC last year and it’s showing my current address on CIC account. I have emailed the London office to update the address but do I have to wait for them to send me confirmation or can I submit passports with the copy of this letter?
Also need to complete information chart appendix A. It has space for applicant, spouse and children.
Do I fill in all of the children info even though they are not accompanying and not dependent of my parents or is it just the parents info?
Thanks

Congrats. Reading a good news after a long time.
Looks like London VO is finally opened.
I read it somewhere but not sure but looks like the processing in New Delhi LVO will open in September. They were closed due to lockdown. I am also waiting.
Thanks . I am also waiting to hear about COPR renewal. My parents visa expired in April. Filled web form saying ready to travel but no news yet. Application status changed to In Process.Anyone in the same situation?
i was wondering if any news from NDVO about COPR extension- I have raised the webform for the second time as re booked the tickets to OCT 2- my online status has not changed though.
What is the status of your application online? Is it In Progress or changed? is your visa office New Delhi? Are the visa office open or still closed in India?
It states APPROVED- but that is from Aug 2019, yes the VO is New Delhi- the visa offices are closed but I was under the impression that ETA would be provided via email
Is your visa expired and you raised webform for visa renewal and ready to travel? Also did you send email to Delhi VO stating the same?
