So the question is in the title but here's some clarification:

I have a valid USA visa and it seems the borders between Canada and the USA are open for COPR holders. If you check CIC, and follow this link https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/flying-canada-checklist , and follow the steps, foreigner, entering Canada from the US it does not state that we are not aloud to enter.

Here is the answer, QUOTING from website:

""You indicated that you are:
  • a foreign national
  • not showing signs and symptoms consistent with COVID-19
  • coming from the United States
  • an approved permanent resident not yet in Canada
Based on your answers, you will likely be allowed to enter Canada; however, the final determination will be made by a government official at the port of entry.

You must be coming to Canada to settle permanently.""

Has anyone else checked this options and contacted IRCC for clarification? I sent them asking but trying to get a quicker answer here.
