My parents couldn't travel to Canada from India eventhough their COPR was issued before March 18 2020. Now, they a few emails along the way but the flights weren't ready. Basically, there was no international airline operating from India other than the rescue flights.
Its like they almost got the PR if they were able to travel because it was given before March 18th 2020.
After march 18th if you got it, you can't go as per the instructions.
Now they want the medicals redone, just this week we got the instructions. What I don't understand is, why did they also ask to resubmit Background declaration, imm5669 and mentioned without travel history. It seems ridiculous to me because why? I understand the medicals, but why do they ask for imm5669 as well, they are treating as if we are just applying the first time.
In reality, once they issued COPR, they should either extend it, OR ask for medicals only, otherwise this seems very unnecessary.
