COPR and coronavirus

I think medical check could be the main part of reassessment. It might take around 3 months but definitely shouldn't take 6 months. Or they might just have a quick review and tell you you are good to go. Right now there is no definite answer, and each case is going to be different. But stay positive, as there is not much else you can do. In most scenario, the outcome is better than you think. So keep in good faith!
Depends, for instance TAP Portugal just gave me 1000€ worth of voucher while the cancelled flight was 400€. I just hope they won't go bankrupt before the end of the year!
Thanks!!Just hope ur right.But we don't even know the waiting period of this assumed 3 months will start from when as I think Delhi office is not working in full swing.Delhi in bad shape.And getting severe day by day.Now only faith and hope can keep us going .Its sooo depressing.But we have to keep ourselves in high spirits thinking atlease we have no lost pr.I think medical check could be the main part of reassessment.

You could do that, but I don't think you will have problems getting an extension.
Yes. I think by June things should be getting to a lot better but movement would still be restricted. It will take atleast a year before everything gets back to normal.
I am so glad I found this forum. Was frantically searching for one since all hell broke loose! Got so much of clarification and relief after reading so much of useful information and links. Thank you so much to all. I know we all are more or less in the same boat, some more due to their visas expiring like really soon.
I have one query left though. Most of them got solved after reading the responses on this page. So I received my COPR on 7th march 2020. My visa is expiring on 6th June 2020, as that is when my medicals are expiring. Anyway my country (India) is on lockdown and no outbound flights are flying anyway, so obviously we might get an extension, as per responses on this forum. My query is, incase post 14th April (last day of lockdown as of now in India), the travel ban on international flights if lifted from India, and Canada has anyway made an exception for applicants who received COPR before 18th March 2020 can travel. So in such case, if I still apply for an extension say in Mid May, will i still get it? Main concern is, 14 day isolation which they have stated as mandatory, we will have to do it all by ourselves on our expenses. have no family in Alberta (like most of us). And my relatives wont be able to travel from Ontario to help me out as well, for obvious reasons. Hence how wise it is to travel amidst all this? if travel is allowed from both countries? or will they not give extension and ask us to travel if no travel bans are imposed anymore?
Just wanted some advice? Anyone attempting to do so or have done so, please do share your experience, Also recession is going to get kicked in, and it would be much difficult to find a job. What is the point in travelling amidst all this chaos and not able to make a living for ourselves and instead spending more money on isolation and daily expenses, without finding a job. Retracted my resignation also here in india, as dont want to be unemployed if this gets extended. So again have to serve notice if have to travel urgently as per rules over time. All of this is such a mess. Also if anyone has any idea of the blanket that will be there if any extension is granted. Just wanted a rough idea. My rant is over. Thank you so much in advance. Would appreciate any advice on the query.

Hi,
Above, everyone is talking about COPR but i have been directed to add my question here: I am a Pakistani from Islamabad and I was invited to apply for PR in the draw of 4th March 2020. When the pandemic hit us all, IRCC raised the days for submission of documents from 60 to 90 days. I do not know how long this situation is going to last but I checked that medical centres in Pakistan are off till further notice and so are offices and places from where I need to collect affidavits / bank statements etc. Also practising social distancing so I am staying at home. Is there anyone from the same draw who I can be in touch with to know how have you decided to handle the situation and complete all documentation?
I have also heard the medical centres are offering date of medical in 2021. Has anyone experienced this? If so, how are you justifying this when submitting documents?
Thank You

If there is no travel ban in effect you will not get an extension as countries have deemed it safe to travel. Also canada assumes you have the ability to self quarantine as you have shown enough funds to settle.
You need to upload evidence that all medical centers are closed in place of the medical report. They will then hold your application till you submit medicals.

Since all we are able to do now is taking comfort from each others opinions + speculations...this is a good message
Mom's COPR is valid until mid-May, due to travel from Delhi, India. Thinking travel around 9 to 15 May might be the plunge to take!I called CBSA yesterday, the guy said if you are coming for the first time here as a new immigrant, you won't have a place for quarantine and we wouldn't admit you in unless you prove otherwise. He said, we are recommending folks to delay arrival and ask IRCC for COPR extension.
With the increase in Cases within Canada itself, I think the situation has changed!
