I have exactly same timeline as yours except for receiving the returned passport. Were your medicals updated in GC key before PPR? I also got PPR on 7th Nov but my medicals were not updated. My passport reached IRCC on 9th Dec and as of now no update. my original medicals expired on 19th Nov 2020 (as per GCMS).

My medical date is 12th October 2019. And I assume that they are valid for 1 year, so my medical got expired on 12th October 2020. I received a medical update in my GC KEY account on 26th of October 2020. This was the second time my medical got updated. So, I think they extended my medical for 6 months and I received my COPR letter today. This letter says that my medical is valid till 30 March 2020 and this is the time they have given me to enter Canada. This is all I know brother.
Can you please tell me how to check if my category is exempt from travel or not, please thank you.
Warm regards

They will send you AWB number after you send the email with proof of payment. It took me few hours to receive the link. Just send them an email again.
I got payment link on 21st Dec, passport got collected on 22nd Dec, passport reached VFS office and got forwarded to IRCC on 24th Dec(today). Any clues on how long could the wait be before I get my passport back with the stamped visa? My application is for a student visa, not PR.

I was asking about the first paragraph only but thank you for the additional info!
I have received the COPR and Passport today (I have sent the passport on 7th Dec). The COPR is valid till April 30 2021 but they have also attached a letter showing travel restrictions which clearly indicates travel restrictions applies for COPR issued after March 18 2020 and allowed to enter only in some cases like Sponsored by a Canadian PR/Citizen.
Does this mean that all other COPR issuing now are not allowed to enter in Canada and in that case, what happens if COPR expired ?

Whether you received any letter along with COPR which mentions travel restrictions? I have received one page which mentions that. The website didn't mention any restriction for COPR holders. I am confused on this
Yes, I believe you are allowed to travel. In one of the groups on Telegram, the person having fresh PPR and COPR traveled. An authorization letter is required only if your COPR had expired earlier.
You can travel as long as you are exempted or immediate family member of pr or Canadian citizen. Check before you book your travel/ticket.
I am in the same condition.. I called them so many times but didn't get any response. Please let me know whenever you get payment link
