Hello experts, I am trying to understand some of the logistics issues that IRCC is currently facing for processing FSW-O and/or CEC with outland applications.
As per my best knowledge:
- As of June 21, 2021 – Applicants with valid (not expired) Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) and visa can travel to Canada. So I assume travel restriction is not an issue.
- As of July 19, 2021, VFS accepts Passport submission service via 2-way courier will commence for all categories. So I assume sending PPR and visa stamps are also not an issue.
- Ban on flights from India to Aug. 21 – I believe even after this ban I have seen many traveling via the third country, I am sure anyone who has approved PR he/she will not have any issue traveling via a third country. If students can take a third country path, approved PR applicants can also take these routes.
I have seen many application approvals from 2021, so not sure what is too difficult with applications from 2019-20?
