COPR and coronavirus

Quite frankly, it is not as simple as you're making it out to be. People who got their COPRs re-approved and got their passports re-stamped, and have NO Authorisation Letter, are NOT "exempt". It is completely the airlines' discretion whether to consider the old expired document. I'm paraphrasing my consultant, who works at one of the largest Canadian immigration consultancy firms in North India: "IRCC has no idea what they are doing. There are internal conflicts within their departments, and no coordination whatsoever between teams."
You say that why is Canada issuing people COPRs - "to keep them in lockers?". Well, why was IRCC issuing COPRs after March 18th at all, when the lockdown was announced? They continued to accept passports and issue stamps until 23rd March. There are approximately 2000-3000 people like me who got their COPRs between March 18th and March 23rd. So why were we issued PRVs? Why are new COPRs being issued today, with an accompanying note clearly telling the beneficiary "YOU CANNOT TRAVEL".
IRCC's actions are nothing short of scandalous here. They are toying with people's lives, denigrating them everyday, and there is no accountability.
You are not alone, im also not getting any updates in my gc acct. Remeds done nov. but still no single update. Last email from ircc dec.5 just acknowledgement that they have received the docs that i have sent..
Thank you for your reply. What do you mean by 0% chance? You mean after COPR expiry? Can I ask for extension now? I am afraid that I will have few days to prepare and travel, and I will not be ready to settle in Canada so I will be doing soft landing.
Let the travel restrictions ease out and travel or ask for extension once your CoPR is about to expire. If IRCC lifts travel restriction on say 2 weeks before your CoPR expiry then what you gonna do? Travel or not travel?
Soft landing is not encouraged by IRCC at the moment.
Hi @Canada_Pr4u ,
how did you contacted IRCC to have gckey updated? I am in same situation, I have AL but GCKey is not updated with latest details and it's almost a week I have received the AL. I already had raised webform but no response yet. is there any email to contact them for this issue?
Please advice.
Wow you're so lucky. Paris VO is so slow I don't even know if I'll ever be able to fly outta here.
Good luck on your journey!
Landing softly or gently without letting IRCC know your hidden motive that you will be going back to your country after activating your PR status at airport the day you land with your CoPR. Usually people come back at later point of time with PR card (shipped by relatives or friends to their home countries) or PRTD to do the hard landing for settling and moving to Canada.
If travel restrictions are lift 2 weeks before COPR expiry, certainly I can't travel as I can't prepare everything in this short time. In this case can I ask for extension? I mean what are the conditions one can ask for extension? Can I ask for it before COPR expiry or it should be after? and what if the travel restrictions still active until the COPR expiry?
Dear @crackMBA ,
Thank you for the response, I remember that you were the 1st one to reply for my previous posting as well. Sorry for the late response, I wasn't in a position to access the forum. So far I haven't received any mail, if I have to move then I'm planning to move with my family and I shall return back to UAE and leave after a year or two. Recently one of my colleague did the same. He spent his 14 days mandatory quarantine post which he was there in Toronto for 10 days to get the bank account, phone etc set on his name and returned back to UAE. There were no questions asked in the border during his exit.
Can't do anything right now. I raised 3 webforms in Nov, Dec and Jan and haven't recieved a single reply. Looks like they've stopped replying to webforms. When I called them, they said my file is with NDVO and they can't give me more info.
No other option other than waiting till they reach our case. They seem to be prioritising family reunification and family applicants over single ones. Thinking of applying for GCMS notes.
Trying my best to stay positive and not lose hope.
