COPR and Travel Restrictions

[Boviesam]

Wouldn’t she be considered as immediate family? If yes, below should apply to her, right?

Recommended documentation for travel
Note: Immediate family members of Canadian citizens, persons registered as Indians under the Indian Act or permanent residents do not require any written authorization from IRCC.

Exactly @ssp2020

 

[Yassinesnit]

yes in this case she's fine. When was her COPR issued?

 

[ssp2020]

So guys once you have that written authorization, can you travel with a valid COPR and PRV?

Yes...

 

[Boviesam]

Just recently, valid till Nov 17 2021

 

[Yassinesnit]

Mine is valid until April 15th and I'm extended family member (with a written authorization from IRCC). I believe we are both exempted and can travel.

Guys,
No luck. Couldn't travel without AL. Personnel from the Air India documentation desk at Delhi airport informed me that I couldn't travel without AL. People with immediate family can travel. She quoted the same rule from the website. I told her that I have a valid Visa, CoPR and it was going to expire on Jan 31st but no use. Don't know how did few people who shared their experience of travel without AL made it. Tough luck. Guess long wait again.

Sorry to hear that. But thanks for sharing this as now we have concrete information to go off of otherwise it was just a hearsay.

Let's hope for the best and something good to come in next month or so.

Sorry to hear this! By AL you mean the written authorization provided by IRCC?

Yup, AL stands for authorization letter.

 

[Yassinesnit]

I presume we are referring to the same exemption email IRCC sends.

Yes, I don't think there is any other kind of AL.

 

[Yassinesnit]

I received it and I am COPR & PRV post March 18th holder, I've been wondering If I can travel given all the conditions stated.

If I were you, I would run with it like no tomorrow . Book the next flight possible and start your new chapter in life.

It doesn't matter If my COPR and Visa were issued post March 18th as long as I have that exemption letter (extended family member)?

Nope.. you should be good to go. The whole purpose of exemption is to be able to travel now..irrespective of when was your COPR issued in case of reunification with families extended or immediate.
