It is just a piece of news but no one can guarantee about the landing at the border(through the port of entry) as they may not allow you to enter back if you are not a PR holder or Citizen.

Has anyone tried contacting IRCC to ask about the landing in Canada for inland applicants??

I would not book flights based on any non official info source that does not cite a specific government document.

Please link the website where you see this information.

This information is on the CanadaVisa site, not IIRC: https://www.canadavisa.com/coronavirus-covid-19-impact-canada-immigration-visa-border-latest-news.html#gs.085p39 . They don't provide a link. As of Wednesday morning it is still there.

Would wait to land especially given the high levels of covid in Washington.

Yes, agreed. We are self isolating as everyone should be.

Hi Guys!!!! Anyone has any idea how we can get landing paper within Canada or how we can validate copr, as I am already in Canada.

And currently no flapoling option. Even crossing fully into the US and back to Canada for this purpose probably considered non essential travel

Hello to all,
Does anyone know if I am allowed to fly & land as I will receive my COPR next week based on spousal sponsorship program?

I think so.

 

[ryester]

Thank you for your reply. By the way, do you have any idea that how I can make sure about it?

You can call CBSA directly to verify. But there is no absolute way to guarantee you will enter Canada without any issue.

Hi All,

I got my PR CoPR and have Canada work permit till June end. I worked in Canada more than 1 year while back. Right now, I am in landing process and Currently reside in US. I was planning to cross the border for landing, since borders are closed, waiting to open. Few days back my daughter (age :2) received her PR confirmation by email and her profile has been updated. she is US born. But for me and my spouse, we didn't receive any notification till now. We are Indian citizen. I have heard that many people are receiving email like this of PR confirmation without landing. What is the criteria?
