COPR and coronavirus

[Satishrana.7061.sr]

You need AL to travel. Did not notice that you got a new CoPR after expiry of your previous CoPR. Please raise webform if you have not received the AL yet.

Actually this is the first COPR I have. Do you think that I should proactively do the re medical as my COPR is valid till 30th of March as my medical is expiring on the same date.

Then you should wait for instructions from IRCC as your CoPR is issued after 18th March 2020. If you have a job offer then you can consider applying for AL. Rest is upto IRCC as they are accessing the applicants for entry into Canada in these travel restrictions.

as per knowledge, they haven't yet started looking at post March 18 expired COPRs. Pre March 18 expired COPRs are getting some updates, but with much delays

So seems like no mandatory hotel quarantine then?

Quoting a recent news:

"I would ask people to be prepared as soon as Feb. 4," - Transport Minister Omar Alghabra

hi Everyone,

My COPR will be expiring on July 2021 and I am planning to travel to Montreal (port of landing) in April 2021. I would like to know if it's a good idea to travel in April? Do we need to seek any approvals prior to the travel?

It may be a good idea with the expectation that the restrictions would ease off by then. It is early to say what approvals would be required, the rules have been changing every few days. You'll have to wait and see how things turn up.

When was your COPR issued?

If you are a new COPR holder, and have a job offer, is it possible to travel? I have some friends at a lab that could help me get a job there for when I arrive.

No problem at all, you're free to go.
No AL needed, Just CoPR with PRV.

Wonder why you want to move so close to the deadline though..... What if you miss your flight/break your car or what so ever

Thanks for confirming Klaverveld!

I have another novice question - You said that all i need is CoPR with PRV. I know that i have a CoPR with a validity until 25th Feb. But, what does it mean to have a CoPR with PRV? Is getting a PRV a distinct process from having a valid CoPR? If yes, how do i go about getting it. Sorry if my question sounds a little amateur. And thanks for all the help!

Hi all! I landed in Canada today morning.At Vancouver.Here no testing at airport.Immigration was smooth.They know what is Al by now. Just that some officers dont know that they have to issue us new copr.I requested my officer.He got confused .He asked others.After much discussions amongst each other and asking some senior he found my new copr and printed it for me.
Any questions pls ask.They were not very particular aby weight of luggage.I had 5kgs over in most bags.
All the best to all who are still waiting for Al.Your time will come soon too.

Glad to see your timeline, Welcome to Canada!

Hi Everyone, I received the 7 pt email with the subject: Are you able to travel to Canada soon?
My PR was approvd before March 18th. I am currently in US and due to personal circumstances unable to travel to canada for now. Do I need to let them know via a webform? The email says respond to this only if you are able to travel. I am thinking of raising a webform at later point in time when I am ready to travel. Do you guys think there's too much risk of extention getting denied later? Tagging: @13nitinsharma @whyCorona

My COPR expired Sept 2020 and Issued before March 18th. Still waiting for IRCC email. Anyone in the same boat?
