COPR and coronavirus
- Thread starter zeus89
- Start date
Does it mean that we don’t need to call up IRCC to ask about AL? My COPR issue date is also after 18th march and is expiring soon end of feb.
Also, is there a general timeline on how much time do they give for you to travel with an AL? I’m rather conflicted as I don’t intend to settle permanently just yet.
Will it be applicable to us! I mean it's for non essential travellers who are coming back after vacationing. We are immigrants.
I am going to land in Canada on 23rd Feb.
Yes likely although you'll need to wait for confirmation. New PRs can also bring into covid to Canada so it is also important to determine if they arrive and test positive.

Am landing on feb 26th. Very confusing and uncertain that they haven't mentioned the exemptions any where ! Is there any way we can call someone and get info/clarity on this ? Reply via a web form will definitely take time, considering we have very short time .
Without it being announced I don't think anyone can confirm. Although there is a mention of not punishing people who need to travel it is very difficult to scrutinize all the applications before people arrive and determine who would not need to enter a quarantine hotel. I assume you will need to shpw your hotel reservation before boarding your flight although not sure the legalities of this. There may be an option for a loan if people can not afford the hotels like other past repatriations. We'll all need to see.
Pretty much sums it up. There is no clarity on this however hope they will be available before new rules go live. There are hints that there are some exemptions which is good i hope for new landings.
I have no idea whom to call or contact. I guess will have to wait for further news. I hope that we r exempted from this rule being first time immigrant.
Heartiest of CongratulationsHi All,
Finally after 1000 pages of this forum my wife landed today.
Timelines:
VO: Vancouver
COPR expiry: June 07, 2020
7pt mail: Dec 21, 2020
Replied to 7pt: Dec 27, 2020
AL Received: Jan 15, 2021
Counterfoil updated: Jan 29, 2021
No remed requested.
Flew AC on Feb 11th.
Everything was smooth. No questions asked at all, everyone is aware of AL.
Somehow the immigration officer in Toronto was not able to print her new COPR because of some glitch. She has to wait for almost 2 hrs there. It happened with few other people also.
Now she is in quarantine.
I will be partly active on the forum. Tag me or DM me if I miss your question.
Happy to help other people.
Thank you everyone for all the support.
Such news bring a lot of joy and happiness.
stay blessed and happy

For people landing after Feb 22,
Canada will implement increased restrictions and make hotel quarantine mandatory for air travellers arriving in Canada effective 22nd Feb. The cost will be upwards of $2000 for 3 nights stay includes meals, transportation, security, increased sanitation. Seems you need to reserve, prior to departure to Canada, a 3-night stay in a government-authorized hotel. Travellers will be able to book their government-authorized stay starting February 18, 2021 :/
