COPR and coronavirus

They will delay the exemption date. It might be 15th April so somewhere close to that. This news does not say anything about international travel. They might impose some strict restrictions inside Canada. Let's wait and watch.

You are so sure about it being 15th April .... You have been consistent with your prediction since the start.
I hope the exemptions are in place sooner rather than later. But hoping for the best.

Right now Air Canada has suspended most of its international flights.

They will resume as from 1st April, it might be a good date for the exemptions to roll out.

My initial plan before Corona madness was to travel on 21st March to Calgary on a one-way ticket and start my life there. All bridges burned.
But with the way situation has unfolded, a soft landing is very much a possibility for me now. Just to validate my CoPR and return and wait for situation to get better.
On top of the health risks, moving right now would mean, immediate start of expenses but without the chances of getting a new job anytime soon. Not to mention the difficulty of going about doing normal things like opening a bank account, getting a sim card etc.

Wonder where the April 15th date came from maybe from that idiot president south of the border who keeps telling everyone mid April will all be over even though the experts say no Mr President it will not be at all.

One of my friends submitted web-form and also sent an e-mail to the immigration team of the Visa office (London in his case). He received a reply today and following is the extract from the email.

'Please be advised that you will not be penalized if you are unable to travel within the validity of your documents. Your application has been updated with notification of your current inability to travel.'

Please what's the email address for the London office?

I got a call from Canadian High Commission today. They said that they don't know the exact course of action. But taking Canadian and Indian travel restrictions in account we should not worry too much and wait...they will get back as and when things get clearer
