Hi all! I landed in Canada today morning.At Vancouver.Here no testing at airport.Immigration was smooth.They know what is Al by now. Just that some officers dont know that they have to issue us new copr.I requested my officer.He got confused .He asked others.After much discussions amongst each other and asking some senior he found my new copr and printed it for me.
Any questions pls ask.They were not very particular aby weight of luggage.I had 5kgs over in most bags.
All the best to all who are still waiting for Al.Your time will come soon too.
Sorry..big mistake...500 gms over 23 kgs...PLEASE TAKE A NOTE...I HAD 23.5 KGS IN ALMOST ALL BAGS.

Hi all! I landed on Feb 4th at Toronto.
Covid testing is mandatory at the airport, at the time of check-in they will ask you to register for the same to avoid the wait time.
Immigration was smooth. They ask for AL and I also took a print of my updated counterfoil details.
Keep your covid report handy as it was the most sort after document.
After landing the officer didn't ask for any document other than the CoPR and AL. They will print a new CoPR and stamp the same.
Covid test is the last thing before you will leave the airport.

All the best to all who are still waiting for AL :)

Hey all,

It was a long road, but it did work out and I am here in my destination city in CA.

Expired CoPR, AL and Covid -ve test mandatory. Officer asked basic immigration questions and informed PR card will be delivered to registered address in 2-3 months.

I did not go through the screening at Toronto on 4th Feb as I was headed to another destination.

Now in mandatory quarantine for 14 days.

@whyCorona @crackMBA @13nitinsharma thank you for your continuous support!

This could help you out:

  • Can I still do a soft landing? No. You must come to Canada to settle permanently at this time, you cannot come to Canada and leave to go live in another country, even if it’s temporary. Details can be found here.

Landed at Toronto today around 5 am! (Air Canada direct flight from New Delhi to Toronto)

Immigrations went smoother on both sides India & Canada but there were long queues.

Canadian immigration officer asked basic questions regarding my profession, quarantine details e.g. address, how many people are staying there. No proof of funds was asked (but it depends upon officer to officer). New CoPR was printed out by the immigration officer as I was travelling using AL with expired CoPR/PRV issued prior to 18th March 2020. AL was checked while boarding and also by immigration officer at Toronto.

Covid negative report was verified while boarding and at Toronto. Mandatory covid test was also done at Toronto (free of cost).

For people travelling or planning to travel in next few days, I asked specially the immigration officer that when hotel quarantine rule will be implemented and he told me that he will be the last person to know about it. :/

Best of luck for your travel and stay hopeful!
Congratulations!!! Finally you reached your destination.
How much it took at Canadian Immigration?

Congratulations my friend. It's a sign of relief that people are able to land smoothly in Canada now. I have a question though.
Did immigration officer asked for photo to submit for PR card ?

Seems very risky right now. Not sure how is it going.
