Thank you! My COPR expires in around 10 days from now. Yes, transiting through US is relatively more risky in terms of COVID-19 at the moment. Hope you guys also land there safely! The pace at which travel restrictions in various countries are changing these days, I wonder sometimes, if they...

Thank you @navyasri99 and @mr1989 ! I feel better than earlier. I really appreciate you all taking the time to respond and share things! Also, another positive news. AI just opened their next flights' schedule for London. Bookings open today at 2:00 pm IST

Sorry, my bad! Should have called it out: linked post doesn't tell how to find your LVO (short of a GCMS query). It just helps one understand the relative importance of an LVO vs. central offices, assuming you mean LVO when you say VO. Your question still stands.

Whether or not to raise 'ready to travel' webform depends on your readiness, situation in your country and your plans, so no comments there from my side. But as far as your VO related query goes, you may find parts of this old post helpful...

More flights To Canada confirmed to come with VBM phase-5. Also, a bunch of other destination countries seem to be onboard with the whole travel bubble thing Hope they keep same passenger eligibility criteria for all airlines and let travelers make their choice.

Hey all, Is there anybody here who has transited/passed-through US recently on their way to Canada. Though I don't see any restriction on transit via US at IATA's site, it'd be nice to hear it straight from the horse's mouth. I realize that only folks who are in the countries exempted from US...

I think 'ready to travel' is meant only for those with expired COPRs. Assuming you're not in US, you are supposed to wait for IRCC to provide guidance on next steps, but if you are ready and have everything sorted out (travel plans, quarantine, etc.) I see no harm in letting them know that...

FWIW, official guidance from USCIC hasn't changed: Reference: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/other-visa-categories/transit.html

Yup, this is why I'm in this conundrum as I do have a US visa. Otherwise there would be just the EU option. It's just that I expected a transit zone to be the norm including within US. If that were the case, the touch points where I could be stopped/questioned would reduce a lot (in case there's...

FYI I was just googling and found that US airports have no international transit zone. Everybody coming through an international flight has to go through immigration, luggage and customs. After that, they can take next flight or go wherever they want to. Thanks @crackMBA for alluding to that...

Hi @navyasri99, Can I please ask you to share more details on your conversation with the consulate? I take it that it was a verbal conversation (not a chat or email). Did they also provide any context/reasoning or quote any (new?) rule/regulation? Were you conversing with a consular or perhaps a...

Thanks @crackMBA! I've been also thinking on similar lines. Yet, another possibility could be that some regulation to this effect (no transit allowed) is going to arrive soon. Without having a written record of communication with embassy or any public info on the matter, it's hard to make sense...

Yes, you can travel from US to Canada. There are two conditions that you need to be aware of: 1. Your travel should not be optional or discretionary. If you're moving there with intention to settle, this condition is satisfied. See 'All Other Foreign Nationals' here...

You're welcome. Current IRCC guidelines recommend raising a webform only when you're ready to travel, not for inability to travel. I do not know, whether acknowledgement is provided or not, so I can't reliably answer your question. As far as expectations go, yes, I would expect it to be the...

There are multiple questions here: 1. Would Indian government allow Emirates to fly passengers out from Hyderabad (or any other Indian city) on 5th August? A: I have only read news on Emirates allowed to operate flights from some cities (not including HYD) till 26th July. So hard to say anything...

Your questions seem better suited to be consulted with a legal counsel IMHO. You should check with your employer, they may already have somebody for these kind of queries. That said, I can share with you my own biased views/opinions/thoughts: 1. A Canadian PR holder doesn't need any work...

As some forum members replied to the post that you are referring, they are asking for plans (and plans can be tentative) mostly. At least, that's how I'm reading it. Whatever proofs you already have at the moment to support your plans, you should attach those. I don't feel, there's any need to...

No way to be entirely sure, but one possibility is that you probably selected incorrect option in the webform. Going by their response, it appears that you might have chosen 'Replacement documents, Amendment to documents.....'. I think, selecting 'Permanent Residence (applied ...)' may be more...

Ah, well not at my destination (YVR) then. Thanks for the response!
