COPR and coronavirus

[ianakiara]

Hello guys, I still need some clarification on my travel to Canada.
My wife and I got our COPR on March 03, our child born in Canada. Are we allowed to enter Canada given the current board ban rules?


Appreciate any help

Seriously, I don't understand why people are travelling when they were pretty clear about the travel ban. If you are not a citizen/Pr or an immediate family member of one then why take the risk?

Next week they will officially announce about the exemptions so why not just wait till then

Good to see that you got COPR. Congratulations.

Guys, major news for people from UAE. Emirates Airlines just announced that they are suspending ALL passenger flights from March 25.

Likely a trend to be followed by other airlines given every day countries are making it almost impossible for an airline to operate. That is why keep repeating that anyone planning a soft landing needs a plan B should their return be cancelled and are stranded in Canada. Everyone else should still accept business and some transport will be shutdown add to that the 14 day self isolation on arrival so now is not the best time to travel to Canada.

Flights suspended indefinitely. Nobody knows when normal service will resume.

Yeah just read that now. I think we will see all airlines shut operations now for atleast a month or two. I really hope that IRCC announces an extension for those whose COPR is expiring within the next month as it is becoming not just dangerous to travel but also almost impossible with more and more airlines canceling flights

 

[Adam261]

That is great news for people from UAE , because no you definitly can not travel and IRCC would count that.
I am in Qatar - they are still operating unfortunately

Guys i can not sleep , i am crying everyday - i dont want to loose my COPR

 

[ankurgupta325]

I am totally stuck now. My CoPR expires on 31st March and Delhi Govt. just announced that all flights till 31st March are suspended. Even if IRCC implements travel exemptions before 31st March there is no way I can travel.

Only an extension to CoPR can save me now.

The advice repeated here many times is to send a web form to IRCC with your details to indicate cannot travel due to travel restrictions. This will be recorded in the system .Just read the guidance.

Received a generic response.

Received a generic response.

But you sent the form in that is the main thing. Nobody can expect an individual response to hundreds of web forms

 

[Adam261]

Yes , please the IRCC are usually very specific - THEY DID NOT CONFIRM THAT COPR WILL BE EXTENDED, they stated that it will be brought to review.

that is extremely risky if you dont want to loose your hard earned COPR , there is a possibility that extension could be refused depending on your case.

I dont want to loose my COPR , in the same time I dont want to be stranded somewhere or move to Canada during a quarantine.
they gave a clear guidance to everything except the COPR , it very distressing and difficult for me.
worst situation of my life.

N.B. I did and got a generic reply

I have received a response from the Abudhabi IRCC office whereby they stated that they will be as flexible as possible if I was unable to travel before the expiry of the COPR due to travel restrictions.
I think that is a clear statement that they will introduce measures to help those people who are unable to travel such as an extension although this announcement will probably take place soon once the COVID-19 situation is under control.
