I said exposed to covid. Taxi and Uber drivers will only accept you as a passenger if you are wearing a mask and you don’t sit up front of behind them. It is very hard to test people in transit. Getting a test result a few days before means the test is essentially obsolete by the time you fly. Stripping once you enter your quarantine location is to keep the germs out of your quarantine environment. Most hospital workers do the same.

That was at the beginning of the pandemic. Most got sick in March or maybe April before any precautions were being taken. That doesn’t mean the risk for passengers is the same as public transportation. The risk is higher for taxi drivers. Most now take precautions.
Finally I received PPR from Warsaw visa office today, but the problem is that my mom is in Canada. Was anybody in such situation? Should I email passports or what is the process now? I was expecting to receive a letter that she is a PR already. During the all process she was in Canada and her address was in Canada address in IRCC files too.
I emailed 2 days ago to Warsaw office and advised that she is in Canada and will stay in Canada at least for a year, and wrote that what I can expect, they advised that I'll receive PPR with instructions. Now where should I email for future instructions?
congratulation...
please share your DM2 date ( Decision made for PR application)
no particular reasons, just visiting family.
supporting documents, med test if required and we have bank account under their names, and submitted bank statement to show they have enough money to stay 1 year.

Sorry, I'm a bit confused. My parents are here on visitor visa not super visa. Can I still apply for one year extension?
My file is in Vienna and my Dad is in Canada and have been here all the time. I've sent the copy of the passport and pictures to Ottawa on June 21, and I am still waiting for them to return it.
It is very difficult for government to legislate for common sense. We should be thankful that government is allowing parents to land even if they are coming from Corona mis-managed countries. They could have easily said that parents will be allowed only once corona vaccine is out and parents are vaccinated. That would have been a very valid policy but government is humane enough not to insist on the same.
Vague policies have been the cause for the spread of covid 19.
As we speak the number of cases all across Canada continues to climb.
Common sense is no longer applicable in today's world where we see people making protests and vandalism in the name of their "common sense". I am loathe to rely on "common sense" these days. In fact I would say common sense is generally bad. Too many people are more concerned with their personal benefits and gains and can't be bothered about other people. The world has changed.
In any case it does look like there is a bit of disagreement from the "common sense" side of things as to whether taking a taxi is appropriate and safe for asymptomatic travelers arriving in Canada.
I would prefer that travelers not take taxis because a taxi driver is going to be taking several different people as passengers throughout the day and week. This means that the potential for spread is going to be there if the driver caught covid-19.
Private vehicles would be the best way. Again choosing who drives the private vehicle would be important as well. preferably someone who is not likely to be in contact with many people in the next 14 days.
So I am not going to be using taxis for my parents. The safest is still to have them drive themselves to the site for isolation.

yes, visitor or super visa, process is same, super visa just a piece of paper that say this person "may" stay up to 2 years.
ultimately it's up to the person making the decision at CIC, if they believe your parents have financial support to stay longer, and not work illegally, they will most likely approve. Especially in times like this.
They can apply and continue to stay, even if visa is expired, until decision is made. Since everything is very slow right now, I'm guessing it will take more than few months to get an extension.
No, it’s not true. I have cancelled Emirates ticket for 13th Aug. Yesterday I enquired with Etihad and they said probably after 15th Aug but not sure. Once you cancel the ticket refund takes more than 60 days.
