Okay, but still why only people living in the US... I mean at least this is what I get from this thread, people living in the US got their COPR extensionsOnly land borders are closed. You can fly anytime. Flights were never stopped.

Yeah. This is also my concern. May be they have different relationship with USA and they need to maintain.Okay, but still why only people living in the US... I mean at least this is what I get from this thread, people living in the US got their COPR extensions
I am surprised that you got the new COPR without raising a webform .... I have not seen anyone getting it.Date on the new letter is March, my previous letter's date. Assumed it's a typo, why do you ask?
Yes, it was the same day and it was valid 60 days from the date issued.Hi aadhi, congratulations on getting an ETA and successfully landing. This is very encouraging news!
Wanted to know if the 'date issued' on the ETA was the same date that you got the ETA. If there was a difference, how much was it?
Thanks a ton!
Cheers,

Yes, I gave a confirmed air ticket and accommodation (fully refundable.In their mail were they expecting you to send them your final booking details?Like air tickets and accommodation?Means are we supposed to make bookings within 10 days of receiving the mail from them?
Yea that was a risk I took by booking a confirmed air ticket and accommodation. I didn't attach any docs in the ready-to-travel webforms.You mentioned that you decided to send your documents proactively... Were you talking about your tickets and accommodation booking?
You mean you booked them even before u got eta.l?Thankfully you got it in right time.
In your first three web forms u did not attach any documents still you got the pointer mail? Sorry for so many questions.But we are too anxious.
Land borders are not closed if you want to permanently settle there. This is exempt from travel restrictions, in fact people are sharing their experiences of soft landing as well - they are able to drive to the border get PR initiated and return to US immediately.Only land borders are closed. You can fly anytime. Flights were never stopped.
Hi @Madhan96291 and @Amit k .I am in the same boat. Sponsorship applicant. Visa expired on June 15. Received email requesting for info like if we are ready to travel last
week. Replied them by Monday! Let's see what happens next. Please keep us posted if you get an extension and I ll do the same too
Thankyou so much for your response Really helpful!Yea that was a risk I took by booking a confirmed air ticket and accommodation. I didn't attach any docs in the ready-to-travel webforms.
Wow thats great...how do you get fully refundable tickets...any special offer was there??one can take the risk if no money to lose.Good it worked for you.Yes, I gave a confirmed air ticket and accommodation (fully refundable.
Hi Aadhi! Great to know your story. Congratulations. I would really appreciate if you could help with couple questions I had;
1. What did you send as a document to demonstrate "Plan for quarantine and medical"? I wrote a word file explaining we'll buy all necessities in advance to be ready for the quarantine period.
2. Did you buy medical insurance to send along with other documents to IRCC? I did not.
Is the expired visa still in your passport?I see that the things are moving (NDVO started issiung ETAs) and I hope all of us will make it to Canada soon.
Is there anyone who landed recently with a new visa using regular flights? Did you have any issues while boarding because your new visa is after the 18th of March?
My COPR situation in case someone finds it useful:
1. COPR expired on the 21st of April
2. Raised Ready to travel in June. New Medical Exam was requested.
3. I passed the exam on the 19th of August and started waiting for PPR - no luck during 3 weeks.
4. After 3 weeks and me constantly writing to my VO (Warsaw) they sent PPR asking to send passport dirrectly to Warsaw (VFS are still closed).
5. I recieved my new visa and COPR few days ago.
My concern is: while buying a ticket at a regular Airline office (Turkish Airlines) they doubted that I will be allowed to borad.
There is a Remark in the bottom of my new COPR saying that original visa was issued before 18th of March and I have a latter from my VO saying that I am excempt. However, I have read about a number of cases here when due to lack of Airport staff competence people were not allowed to board.
So, is there anyone here who landed recently using new visa and COPR and regular airline (not special flights)?
Yes, it is. They put two black stamps "CANCELED WITHOUT PREJUDICE" and crossed that silver sticker with blue ink.Is the expired visa still in your passport?
