COPR and coronavirus

Hi @

Yeah just saw that, I am feeling things will get better by 1st June. Good luck!

Today, got email from Emirates that my flight (Dubai-Toronto) which was booked for 5th June is now cancelled, and Dnata representative told me that none of the normal flights will gonna operate till June end at least.. this was as per current situation..
Fingers crossed as my COPR expiry is 7th July..

Same scenario have booked a flight already from Delhi to Toronto for June 15. i am planning to reschedule it for the upcoming week. Not sure whether they would allow COPR tho

As long as the CoPR was issued on or before 18 March there is no issue. Simply carry the printout from the Canadian government website clearly highlighting the exemptions.

Suggested: Also carry clear quarantine plan, stay, food, medicals, ..full details.

Best wishes!

Hi Rahil,
Emirates website still shows available flight for June 5 from Dubai - Toronto. Did you have a return flight booked? If you search for a one-way flight, it still shows as available. Also, their latest updates on social media mentions scheduled flights to 9 destinations starting from May 21. You might want to check again with Dnata

I applied online and got it in 3 weeks by post.

Hi... a quick clarification... my husband and I are planning to self isolate in airbnb but to give our friends address for PR card and they will send that by post to us ... as we will return to US after 14 days of self isolation. Is it ok to give the same address for SIN also ? And also did u apply for health card? Is it necessary to apply for health card when we soft land or can we apply it when we settle there permanently?

 

[SaraRahul]

No it's a real concern. US likely to ban re-entry of non-immigrant working visa holders for the rest of the year so people like me, who needed to do soft landing first are likely screwed. It's not that you easily have a good job in Canada lined up in this economy.

Do u mean ppl who are on H1B ?

How are you going to apply for SIN with your friend's address? Have you checked the required documents for online or mail sin applications?

I have just recieved the following letter (generic reply, but is different from all of previous replies):

Question: I saw people on this thread recieved the same reply. Did you have any updates or news after such letter (particularly, after "We have forwarded your request to extend the duration within which you can confirm your status as a permanent resident to the responsible office."). Have anyone recieved any feedback from that "responsibile" office?

I received the same email few hours back for my webform which I sent on 14th April. Although I got the generic reply for it few days back. I believe that they have started the tagging of application for extension. We might receive an update soon. Finger crossed.
