Hello, just to provide a bit of relief and hope to everyone. We received (family of 7) our CoPR in early March so we were exempted for travel restrictions. However, our visa expired in July during lockdown in our country. In August, borders were partially reopened with flights resuming progressively and I requested and extension to our expired visas. I received the generic reply with 10 days to send the ready to travel required documents which I provided on 25 Aug. On the 27, we got our travel authorizations valid for 60 days, and extension of our visas until Jan 2021. We had booked one way ticket with SN Brussels for Oct 02 flying via Brussels, and Air Canada from Brussels to Ottawa (with a lay over at Montreal). We did our landing formalities in Montreal which went very smoothly with a welcoming officer. The layover was only two hours and I was afraid we might missed our correspondance to Ottawa, but luckily our luggages were registered to Ottawa and we did not need to collect them back and went straight after Customs to the security and boarding gate. At Ottawa airport, we just collected our luggages with no further check and headed to our quarantine address.

Great news! were you asked about the purpose of your visit (which I'm assuming is permanent settlement)? what was your answer?

Really...whats the use of this webform drama...ppl not wanting to go getting the mail...we raised thrice no mail:(
Hey.. just to keep you posted, while I did receive the 4 pointer email from my consultant last week for all the webforms I raised. I also received a follow up email from the registered cic.ca account stating that they have verified my information and sent further communication to my consultant. This email also contains the date they sent the email on & my consultant’s email so doesnt look like a generic email but that actually someone typed it out.
do check if you have anything similar

Thank you for sharing your experience. Seems like it was a very uneventful and smooth process. Could you share your experience when you landed in Toronto? The questions they asked, they documented they might have asked for, etc? Also where were you flying in from?
