COPR and Travel Restrictions

[KoKo_]

Here is my experience coming to Canada which may help you to figure out the general context of Canada entry.I am COPR post 18 March which will expire on 27 June and I have AL because I am extended member but My wife and my sons don't have AL. We did go to the airport together to fly. Unfortunately, CBSA did chating with airline staff and they only allowed me to board. I decided to board alone to become PR, and 6 days after my flight, my family sucessfully fly separately without AL because they become immediate member of PR. The airline system is tricky with CBSA because without permission of CBSA, they don't allow people to board a flight, but It makes no sense that they don't allow my family fly together. Hope that helps guys.

Which airlinese, please?

I find it strange, then your family flew without an AL six days after your flight.... They didnt get an AL six days later. I am correct?
i don't understand the purpose of not allowing them to fly on the first trial

It's Qatar airline.You're right, they didnt get an AL 6 days later. CBSAs were so unsymphathic because I was still not PR on the first trial until the second trial. But they dont think we can fly together and certainly I will become PR just before my family and everything could be right. They said at least 1 day after my PR status was granted, my family could come to Canada without AL.

oh wow... sorry to hear that... cant find a logic behind it..
btw you got two boarding passes at once when you hand in your bags (at the counter) correct?... one to Doha and the other to canada
on the bright side, your family flew with a COPR post-March 2020 without an AL...mmm

my lawyer said that if you want to land and confirm PR, then you can come from US as resident not as visitor in the US. although, hope we can (we have a visit visa to USA).. if you have a confirmed source then please let us know

The tool on Canada.ca says you will likely be allowed to land in Canada if you are coming from the US even if it's a connection. https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/answers/foreign-us-approved-perm-res

Ur lawyer info is not updated. Many people travelled via USA on viait visa and moved to Canada within a day or 2

So can a post march copr get to canada by just a connecting flight from the US? Has anyone done it?

 

[pk960]

Connecting flight is as good as direct flight so it will not work

what if i have a valid visit visa to the US?

 

[pk960]

Then go to usa stay a day or so and go via land crossing. People have done so and it will save you 3 days hotel quarantine as well

yes..i've checked.. but the problem is whether goinf to USA for visit 1-2 days and then moving to canada as PR is allowed.. it says coming from the US but it doesn't say what is your status in the US..

hi Hasan

In terms of announcements, as per the Prime Minister, they are not in a hurry to open their borders yet. But there are talks between USA/Can and pressure by the ppl to open up.

And in terms of vaccinations, Canada is ramping up and surpassing a lot of countries in terms of the vacc-ed population. A lot of provinces are easing up, as an example, Quebec soon will announce that its province will go green.. Alberta reached second stage and one more stage pending before going green
