I am having valid COPR(Confirmation of Permanent resident) with a single entry visa(expiry date: 20th July,2020)As per Canada immigration guidelines, I am exempt from travel restrictions as our PR application was approved before 18th March.


https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/immigration-applicants.html#approved-before
(Permanent residence applications approved on or before March 18, 2020 : If we approved your application on or before March 18, 2020, but you haven’t travelled to Canada yet, you’re exempt from the travel restriction measures.)

As per MHA guidelines II, there is nothing mentioned about COPR visa eligibility. It's only mentioned about OCI, greencard holders and indian nationals holding visa with residual validity of 3 months.

Could you please confirm if I am eligible to book tickets under VBM initiative.

Hi, I am looking for more information on this but unable to find concrete information. However, I was told that if destination country allows entry then the ticket can be booked with AirIndia, is what I was told in my last enquiry.
My CoPR expires on Jul 4, and planning to travel too. Get in touch with me on tammi_star on insta or snap, Or email on tammi.aqua@gmail.com

Hello,

According to the below notice, Permanent resident applications approved before Mar 18th are exempt from Travel restrictions.

I booked my Air India flight via the Vande Bharat service for 20th May and will be coming to Canada. You can do the same.

On a post on another thread, a person mentioned that they were able to travel to Canada using Air France flight from Mumbai to Paris and then an Air Canada flight from Paris to Toronto. They landed in Canada 2 days ago.

As far as I know, Air India officials should not have any objections admitting passengers as long as they are allowed entry into the destination country. I have booked my flights for 21st June from Delhi to Toronto on an Air India flight. I am travelling with my spouse and kid so I have done considerable research to ensure that the travel will be allowed.

When is your COPR expiration date? Is it less than 3 months?
