Hi Guys,
I received AL a week ago and will be traveling soon. Wanted to thank all of you for sharing the information which helped me out in the process especially @whyCorona @crackMBA and other members as well. For those, who are waiting to board the plane, be patient you will be in Canada soon InşaAllah.

FYI, my COPR was approved b4 18th March. I raised the first web form in Nov and then another after 8 days. Then I raised a third in early December. Got an email asking for info such as plan, proof of funds, etc, and in a week or two got the AL.

Thank you all again and stay strong we will all make it to Canada.
Hi...I am in the same situation.Is there any travel restrictions in our case.Please reply

If you don't mind sharing what is required to get an AL to land in Canada? My COPR is valid until May 30, 2021. My wife lives in Canada on a work permit. I do not have a visitor visa. Until I land , her PR does not get activated either.
Please and Thank you.
Not sure if someone answered but u can apply for family reunification.. go thru the rules.. that would be fastest way to get al

Can any1 please explain regarding the PCR test, it states that it has to be done/valid for 72 hours before travel. I want to ask should it be 72 hours from the flight that will take off for Canada or the first flight for the travel itinerary. I'm flying from Muscat to Doha and then Doha to Montreal and then Calgary.
Thanks
Test must be taken 72 hrs before you board your first flight. Doesn't matter if your flight to Canada takes 5 days.

Hi everyone,
Its my first time in this thread , I have got my COPR on September and it will expire in April. I am ready to travel and settle, but when i checked i found that unfortunately i cant as my COPR dated after March 2020. also I have a valid visit visa and my brother is living in Canada, is it possible to apply for AL through my Visit visa under the extended Family exception ? and when i enter Canada port I can validate my COPR. is that possible ?? if no what is your suggestions to travel to Canada and Activate my COPR ? any Ideas ?
Thanks You

Hi, i believe the reason also is the canada travel restrictions, correct? because our COPR is issued after March 18...same boat
Yes that's one reason as well..But even if the borders were open in December i would have not been able to travel.Hence i requested for an extension, but received a generic response to raise a web form when ready to travel..It's all confusing now as i read in a previous thread that we should not raise any web form if we already did prir to 23rd December.

Any suggestions on what to do after my COPR expires on 20 Jan?

Just wait for instructions from IRCC. If you have a reason to travel e.g. a job offer, family reunification or something then raise a webform. Yes, after 23rd Dec 2020 they have changed the rule for ready to travel webform. Now they are gonna contact the CoPR holders for their readiness to travel.

Regarding webforms you will receive generic responses as they are handled by IRCC agents and not by the review officer. When your application is accessed then you will start noticing the movement regarding your CoPR extension.

Hi All,

I got the following email on December 24 from Ottawa VO (CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca)

"This is in reference to your application for permanent residence in Canada.
We have received your request to travel using your expired Confirmation of Permanent Residence document. IRCC is currently working on your case. You will be receiving further information from us in the coming weeks with regards to the documents you will need to travel
."

Anyone else received such emails?Does this mean i will be receiving an AL instead of remeds. Following are my details.

Application Approved before March, 2020
COPR expired on June 12, 2020
No 4 pointer email was sent to me
Raised 4 webforms with one webform containing details of Quarantine plan, proof of funds, etc.
Medicals expring on Feb 2021 ( Included the 6 month grace period)
hi dear..have you received anything after this email.i also got the same email on 24th dec.
