Has anyone received a reply from PHAC? I wrote them a while ago because I'm not part of any exemption group, however, my situation is a bit complicated as my visa expired on the country of residency and going back to home country is not possible. I provided all documents, etc. and this was the reply.

Dear Mr. ---,

Thank you for your correspondence related to your wish to enter Canada.

By way of this email, the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) is of the opinion that you would likely be permitted entry to Canada, and would not likely be exempt from quarantine, based on the assessment below.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented complexities and challenges in our country and globally. The Government of Canada continues to implement border measures to limit the introduction and spread of COVID-19.

Prohibition of Entry Order

At this time, the Government of Canada has prohibited foreign nationals from all countries from entering Canada for non-essential travel through the Order in Council bla bla bla.

Under these orders, all travel of an optional or discretionary nature, including tourism and recreation, is prohibited.


As a Canadian permanent resident you are permitted by right to enter Canada.

Mandatory Isolation Order

The Government of Canada has implemented the Emergency Order bla bla bla

Kind regards,
Emergency Orders and Policy Interpretation Team
Public Health Agency of Canada

Does it mean I can try to entry with this email?
My plan is to travel mid-Jan. CoPr/MED expires in Mar-21.

Also, I got particularly interested in the head of e-mail, with REf#, PHAC-COVID-EO-EXT-WP, 4 dig and my name.

EDIT: CoPR issued in Aug/2020.

Hi,

May I ask to when did you first send this request ? What was the email you sent it to ? I'm assuming you are a post March 18 COPR holder :)

We're in a similar situation. We are expecting a baby by July and our COPR will expire right there. Our plan to move by March end latest. Anything further than March will be too risky :( !
