I don’t have a job offer . The thing is that I just want to go and soft land with my family, get the PR and come back.
You cannot do that now. You will have to wait until travel restrictions are lifted. In the meantime if your copr expires they will renew it for you. Pretty much that's happening for several months now.
try moving some pages of this site and you will know plenty.

My COPR was issued after MArch 2020. I have a job offer from my employer in india for a canada position. I called up IRCC and they told me COPR can not travel. Ask your employer to file a work permit.
what kind of industry is it? There are some exemptions to certain jobs who could travel.

If your COPR was issued before 18th March 2020, you're free to travel. Otherwise, you need an authorization letter.
Apologies for the rather silly question. I might have missed this major update while I was traveling.

My CoPR was approved prior to March 18, 2020 and it expired in May 2020. With what you mentioned, does that mean I can book a flight and complete the landing procedure? I thought we had to wait for IRCC to give us permission once we're ready to travel.

Secondly, I got married last month. With my expired CoPR, I requested IRCC to add my spouse, but they've been providing vague responses. Do you suggest spousal sponsorship as the only way to go about it?

ArriveCan - what to select in purpose of travel? I am going as extended family member... The options are family reunion for immediate family member and no mention of extended family.
Or i select none of the above?

Anyone with expired CoPR issued before March 2020 and still unsure of where he/she stands? I received an email from CTC-CPD-Ottawa in December with the 7pt questions to which I answered but nothing since then. Not even sure if the answers I submitted via webform was passed across to CPC-CTD-Ottawa

Same situation with me. Infact in my case, I was told in the 7pt email that I must arrive by march 30, 2021. However, I am yet to get the AL, so I cannot make any travel plans now.

Hey Guys,

Just a piece of information for you all.

My wife got a call from health Canada in the morning and a officer came in afternoon to check. He just asked few questions and saw the passport. She completed her 7th day of quarantine.
So happy to hear that your wife has reached Canada.I was so busy in initial settlement..cudnt catch up for so many days.By now she must have completed quarantine.Was she asked for new photos at airport..I was not asked..officer tooky pics from old copr only.Now one week ago I got mail from Nova scotia sydney demading photos saying that old ones don't meet the requirement.I have sent latest ones thru courier.I hope they accept this time.

Make a follow-up to your visa office, mention to them that you were told that you have to arrive by march 30 but you couldnt travel as you dont have your AL yet.
