hey did you get any clarifications to this? what did you decide to do?Hi Ijaz (ijaz_ch84,),
I have a similar situation that my COPR expires in Nov,2020, and currently I reside in US. But it looks like they allow soft landing now as you have completed recently. Did you travel from US and came back? Did you have to quarantine for 14 days? For a soft landing, what all the documents we need to present at the border and PR application? I am also debating whether I should wait until after all these COVID thing settles and do a soft landing afterwards, but that time my COPR expires as well. what would you recommend? Greatly appreciate your advise.
Thanks,
Shameer
No clarifications yet. But you can read others experience here https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/pr-soft-landing-from-us-after-eo.693114/page-5#post-8816315hey did you get any clarifications to this? what did you decide to do?
@Bs65 Can you explain this sentence a bit more in detail? Few questions I have:Well first due to COVID soft landings are not currently supported.
Nobody is supposed to do a soft landing at the moment due to covid but most people haven’t been prevented from landing since it is often not evident that you are doing a soft landing. You should be planning to quarantine for 14 days before returning home.Hi I have a small doubt. If I come to Canada to validate my COPR, can I return back to my home country after all the procedure? I have a friend in Canada and I can give his address to get the PR cards get posted. Pls help. Also I have heard IRCC is now extending COPR visa validation time period? Is it true? Anyone got like that?
Thanks thanks thanks in advance
Canada is trying to minimize traffic Into Canada so Canada only wants those coming to Canada longterm to land. It is not forbidden to land in Canada. People have not been upfront with their plans and have landed in Canada, done their quarantine for 14 days and returned to their home country. You must still physically come to Canada to land even during covid.@Bs65 Can you explain this sentence a bit more in detail? Few questions I have:
- What does it exactly mean not supported? If one lands and gets PR card, is it forbidden to leave Canada afterwards?
- Due to COVID, are people still required to land to Canada to get all the paperwork done or is it possible to do this remotely during this pandemic period (I understand that remote option is not safe for bunch of reasons, but to double check)?
Soft landings are discouraged on the basis Canada is trying to be responsible by discouraging people from international travel during a pandemic specifically if they intend to travel stay for a few days or weeks then fly home again. A soft landing is not illegal just that there might always be the possibility CBSA could refuse to complete a landing at the POE or refuse to submit a PR card application.@canuck78 Thank you for your replies above. Still few questions.
- You say “Canada only wants those coming to Canada long term to land”. Does this mean that Canada currently considers soft landing scenarios to be illegal?
- You are saying about people not being upfront with their plans. In case one gets PR card, does the quarantine and afterwards goes back temporary to some other country, is this going to cause loss of PR status after this person comes back to Canada after a while?
- Since Canada only intends for people who wanna settle to come, do you know how long is COPR validation period these days?
- Once COPR is obtained and needs to be validated, is there any reason/way to extend period needed for its validation? For example, what happens if one needs to come to Canada from super risky COVID zones? Or is that not really important since whatever the situation with virus is at that moment, one needs to do quarantine anyway and that’s considered to be enough?
