Hello Guys,
I got my prtd approved however as we all know by now, we need to share travel itinerary for getting LOA (letter of Authorization). I have following question, if someone who traveled on LOA can help please:

1. The authorization mail i got says - You would then bring the “Letter of Authorization” and proof that you meet a travel restriction exemption with you to the airport and show it to the airline as proof of approval for a visa in accordance with the exemptions in place due to COVID-19.

My question is - what proof do I need to show

2- At the airport we show LOA and the above proof (whatever it is), right? That's all. (Ofcourse passport too)

Please help!

I got an email from the covid PRTD application id today for submitting my passport for PRTD. Anyone else sailing in the same boat?

I have sent an email to the Passport submission id for any special instructions using which I need to send the passport. I will need to apply to VAC in Delhi.

Please note that my situation is : Have been a PR since 2015 and had to travel to India 15 days before y card expired. PR card renewal is also applied in June and the card has been sent to my address on 23rd Nov where my family will receive it but it is not yet delivered. I applied for PRTD on 14th October through email with no response. Followed up on December 22nd when I got a response to provide my application and UCI number, provided the details and got the response below today.

Good day,
We recently learned that the government of India no longer permits transits in between India and Canada.
Please see https://www.civilaviation.gov.in/en/about-air-transports-bubbles.
If you decide to book a flight, your itinerary should be modified to a direct flight instead. Please note that we will no longer issue letters of authorization after January 15th.
You are also encouraged to submit your passport to a VAC.
