COPR and coronavirus

Hello!
So I'd invite anybody to check me on this, but from what I've heard from CIC officials that I've called into, if you fly into the US and take a connecting flight to the Canada, I understand that they'll probably let you in. This is also explicitly mentioned on their website.
I believe the reason for this is that you are tested at the US checkpoint for illness, so the understanding is that anybody who is allowed to fly from the US isn't a flight risk.
Can someone else confirm?

Am in a similar situation as you. Thats a similar query I sent in March and got a generic response.
Hi everyone! I’m post March COPR holder. My visa expires in Dec 2021. I have lost my job due to COVID and waiting to go to Canada to start my life. Since I’m post March 18 COPR holder I’m not allowed to travel. Kindly suggest me will I be able to travel if I find a job in Canada? Does anybody got jobs like that? Cz everyone says it will be so difficult to find a job in Canada since I’m not inside the country. Are there any tips or advice anyone can give? Any web sites etc..! Pls help! I’m in a very bad situation. @legalfalcon

You can surely search and apply and let the employer know your status.
To currently travel, you will need a work permit.

I got PPR after re-medicals.
Re-medicals request - 10th December 2020
Status updated on GCkey - 4th Jan 2021
PPR - 7th April 2021
COPR - 22nd April 2021
Hey guys, I'm in a bit of a situation here. Can someone please help me out?
After submitting my passport in March 2020, I finally received CoPR after about 8 months after in November 2020.
The date on my CoPR states that it will be expired in August 2021.
Here is the situation: I have received a job offer (with visa sponsorship) from a country other than Canada. Do you think there is a chance for me to enter Canada before August? Does it make sense for me to accept the job offer and wait until Canada re-opens the borders?
I'm asking this because I see a lot of people here who have had their CoPRs expired in 2020 and are only just receiving their "Do you want to travel" emails.
So I assume that it's going to take A LOT of time for IRCC to clear its backlog and people in my situation are going to waiting a long time.

How easy would it be for you to move from this new country whenever the border opens.
August is just 3 months away, i dont think anyone can say for sure that one can definitely enter by August. Its based on multiple dynamic factors.
I do wish and pray that it becomes easy for everyone waiting.
I didnt receive a remedical request. What we received back in October was a refusal letter stating they couldn't process our request due to our med8cal had expired and so my family did remed in Nov. No update for 2 months and so i emailed my visa office to make a follow up. I was asked to email their emedical form and so i did. Im an inland and my dependents outside canada. I needed to land first before they would issue a PPR. It took 1 month before i get landed. After i landed, 4 days later PPr for my family
Could someone please tell me after how many days your profile (express entry profile via GC key) got updated when you reply to "Do you still want to immigrate to Canada" mail? and after that within how many days you got the re-med application?
Also even though I didn't changed the subject of the mail when reply I noticed that Gmail has added "Re:" to the beginning of the subject. Could this be an issue?
Thanks in advance

@agrawalakshay for how long is your new COPR valid ? Is it till around December 2021?
Also,I am guessing your VO is New Delhi? Can you confirm though?
@agrawalakshay - also, did you do anything after your remedicals, like raising webforms or calling them or emails etc?
