As a WP holder if you have a job in Canada, you are already exempt from travel.

If you wish to travel on your PR visa / COPR, you will need an authorisation to travel based on the extended family exemption.

Definition of extended family members
The Orders have expanded the types of family relationships to Canadian citizens, persons registered as Indians under the Indian Act and permanent residents that are exempt from the travel restrictions. In contrast to the immediate family member definition, the extended family member definition does not apply to familial relations of temporary residents in Canada.

Extended family members in respect of a Canadian citizen, person registered as an Indian under the Indian Act or permanent resident are

• an individual who is 18 years of age or older, is in an exclusive dating relationship with the person (who is also 18 years of age or older), has been in such a relationship for at least 1 year and has spent time in the physical presence of the person during the course of the relationship
• a dependent child of the person in the exclusive dating relationship
• a child of the person, of their spouse or common-law partner or of the person in the exclusive dating relationship
• a dependent child of a child (that is, a grandchild)
• a sibling, half-sibling or step-sibling of the person or of the person’s spouse or common-law partner
• a grandparent of the person or of the person’s spouse or common-law partner

Extended family members who want to unite with a Canadian citizen, person registered under Canada’s Indian Act or permanent resident
To be considered an extended family member of a Canadian citizen, person registered under Canada’s Indian Act or permanent resident, it depends on who you’re related to and how.

If your relationship is with a Canadian citizen, person registered under Canada’s Indian Act or permanent resident

You must be

• in an exclusive dating relationship, have been in the relationship for at least 1 year and have spent time in the physical presence of that person at some point during the relationship
  • You and the person you’re in the relationship with must both be 18 years of age or older.
• a non-dependent child (adult child)
• a grandchild (dependent child of a non-dependent adult child)
• a sibling, half-sibling or step-sibling
• a grandparent

I believe you misunderstood me. I have a work visa in UAE and not Canada. I was wondering if stating to IRCC that I am exempted would speed my process in receiving my final approval. I only passed criminality and every time I contact them, they talk about travel restrictions?

If you are stating that you are exempt just because you have your siblings in Canada, that is not true. Unless you apply for a travel authorization (exemption) and the same is granted, which is discretionary, you are not exempt from travel restrictions.

Also, even if you are, it will not expedite your PR application processing.

Much the same boat here. Inland CEC, AOR on December 6, biometrics not needed, passed medicals on April 30 and no further news.

Took until april 30 for them to clear your medicals? thats odd, but hopefully it wont be long for them to finish up!
