COPR and coronavirus

[Nimz10]

Hi, My COPR was issued on Dec 24th and valid until 15th Dec 2021. Am I allowed to travel to Canada according to the lates travel restrictions? If yes what should I do next? Do I have to write to authorities or anything?
@legalfalcon kindly advice me..

@legalfalcon and other experts of the group

Since borders are now open what is it that the expired copr holders post March can expect?

Will it be remedical and then visa

Or

AL?

Thoughts ??

If your PR visa is valid, you can travel. For more detail wait for a day or two, official notification will be issued.

@idhar_chicha @Fmegha86 @CNP your PPR-2 request was through email or as a message on your CIC account?

It was through the CIC account. The email was a generic one saying that you need to take an action so login to your account.

Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino also announced that individuals approved for permanent residence may travel to Canada as of June 21. Previously, foreign nationals who held a valid confirmation of permanent residence issued on or before March 18, 2020, were exempt from Canada's travel restrictions.

Yes but what does that mean? Work with expired copr holders?

What can we expect?

This is taken verbatim from the IRCC website:

Helping applicants with expired and expiring COPRs
A COPR’s validity, which can last for up to one year, is tied to the applicant’s passport and their immigration medical examination. However, many applicants were not able to travel to Canada before their COPRs expired due to the travel restrictions or other COVID-19 related considerations. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has been working with applicants who were already exempt from the travel restrictions to reissue them a COPR. For applicants with expired COPRs issued after March 18, 2020, more information on when and how to obtain a new COPR will soon be available on IRCC’s website.

Individuals whose COPR has expired should not book flights or attempt to travel to Canada until they receive a new COPR from IRCC.

Now waiting for the VACs to open. None of these new rules help if we're not able to get our visa re-stamped in the first place.

@legalfalcon
Probably a bit too early to ask this but any idea what happens to applications which started getting reprocessed following a request for Copr validity extension.
Right now I have an expired COPR and application in process again.
thankyou in advance.

I guess those of us from pre March with expired copr will just have to keep waiting. It’s almost like the people who have expired copr from before March are nonexistent.
