Like because of the niceness or laxity by a few officers/airlines doesn’t mean your case is the same with another person’s. Which is the mantra of Canadian immigration. I personally have an email containing a letter stating “Until further notice, most foreign nationals cannot travel to Canada if their valid CoPR and PRV was issued after March 18, 2020, unless they are exempt from the travel restrictions.
We have issued your documents so that when the restrictions are lifted, you will have your documents ready to travel to Canada.”
So why on earth will I take a risk and travel. Impatience and faulting of rules can also get your application refused. Remember “until you land your PR status is yet to be finalised”
