only IRCC can respond for sure, I guess. For us their logics is often beyond any comprehension
Currently, immigration into Canada from other countries except US using CoPR issued after March 18 is currently banned.
I am hoping that the restriction is lifted by September 30th.
My AOR is 2nd Sept 19, and my medicals are supposed to expire on the 17th of september. However I didn't receive neither re-medical request, nor extension of medicals.
Seems thw few PPRs issued lately are all starting from Oct 19.

I agree. I am outland applicant from Japan. VFS is also open here from 8th June and my decision made application has no update since April end. Unless there is some ease in travel restriction, outland applicant will be on hold I guess.
Wanted to update the forum. Been reading for a while but first post.
Outland applicant, AOR Jan 21 2020
Biometrics completed in February.
No update on file from May. Residing in Australia.
Both my wife and I are medical doctors with Canadian qualifications.
Received job offers in Canada supposed to start in September 2020. Due to delays and trying to update the health region we sent all the documentation regarding the work offer, plan to isolate, potential flights etc. Received feedback after months of waiting.
"This is in reference to your application for permanent residence in Canada. You request regarding urgency for processing your Permanent Residence application has been reviewed. Your permanent residence applications are currently at the final stages of processing. There are currently no travel exemptions for essential workers for permanent residence applications. You will not be able to come to Canada until the travel restrictions are removed. Exemptions from travel restrictions for essential workers are currently for work permits. You may apply for a work permit for yourself and corresponding permits for family. Your application will be reviewed to see if you meet requirements for essential workers and travel exemptions. "
So guess we will have for borders to open, or apply for work visas which will take months.
Unfortunately I can't imagine borders opening any time soon.

Absolute madness!! I'm a Registered Nurse in exactly the same position, they've been crying out in Canada for needing additional health professionals over the winter months, yet they don't allow essential workers to travel.
It does not make sense that you are allowed to travel on a work permit, but not on PR for what they deem an essential service.
I can't even get a work permit, I applied for Outland PR via AINP, never did an LMIA because it wasn't needed for points and most employers just won't do it. As it stands at the moment i've been told if I don't arrive in the next 12 weeks my job offer will be withdrawn, they can't wait forever!
They still want immigrants cash though. 2019 - 89800 ITAs issued. January - September 2020 - 69950 ITAs issued and on its way to break a new record this year.
