I agree. I am finding it difficult to be positive now about these random cyclic updates that have been happening on my profile. Since today morning, I have logged in thrice and every time the status changed to either medical passed or Final Approved. This looks like a glitch unfortunately for most of us. IRCC still appears to be super selective about who they want to issue those ALs to so this continues to be an excruciating wait.

@13nitinsharma Do you know if people with COPRs post March 18 have also been seeing any progress in the past couple of days(ever since the ghost update)?
Hi - I have an Indian passport. I got my COPR on 18 March 2020 and have the visa stamped on my passport as well. As per IRCC guidelines I guess I am allowed to travel to Canada for settlement purposes (since my COPR was done by 18 March)? My COPR will expire in 2021.
Can somebody please tell me if my understanding is correct? Also, are there any additional documents needed from IRCC for landing/travelling to Canada? Please help. Thanks in advance.

Thanks. Any specific document I need to get from IRCC for travel? I have heard people mentioning ETA. Not sure what it refers to? Do I need it?
No required for you since your COPR is Valid. ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) letter is required by those with expired COPR's to enable them to travel to Canada.
Your CoPR is still valid and is issued on 18th March 2020. You are exempted and do not require any specific document to carry with you while travelling. Just to make sure to have proper quarantine plan before travelling.
ETA is for those who have their CoPR expired.
There are a few people who have risked it and done it from other countries as well including India. Based on the tweets IRCC puts out , the general guidelines they have on their webpage and also any response that is sent by them if you ask them this question, it is not allowed so there is definitely the risk that you might be turned away at the airport or worse still, be turned away from Canada when you land and have this marked against you. However, like I said, people have taken a chance and have reached Canada so at the end of the day, it is really an individual's choice on whether they want to give it a shot or not.
Do you have a Canadian Visa Counterfoil (One time Visa) stamped on your Passport? apart from the CoPR document
