So to round up based on the info around the forum, IRCC is going to clear out the expired Outland COPRs simultaneously with remaining Inland/CEC applications, then wait for Border restrictions to be eased for "all foreign nationals"(potentially 7 sep but cases are rising) and then perhaps give PPRs/remeds to approved FSW-Os. So where are we on the Expired COPR & CEC application inventory? We should have an excel file on this to have some form of predictive analytics on this.
as of now I do not think people are really concerned with the amount of cases. Most people in Canada are vaccinated and huge majority if newly infrcted people are ones who did not vaccinate. They will put a strict rules, either you vaccinated and you do not have toquarantine or you will have to on your own expense. I will not be usrprised if they will say at some point that you have to be vaccinated to come there without any expceptions
