COPR and coronavirus

[Jojorabbit]

Even if the flight isn't cancelled, it is highly unlikely that you'll be allowed to board unless you fall under the exemptions mentioned in various previous posts. If you simply hold a COPR and are not an immediate family member to a PR/CC (or any of the other conditions listed here https://orders-in-council.canada.ca/attachment.php?attach=38952&lang=en) you probably will not be able to board under the current circumstances and risk refusal at POE. You can ask IRCC for guidance should this last beyond your COPR expiry.

So what should I answer here:

Is your application being processed by an office OUTSIDE Canada?

Yes

No

IMPORTANT: If you’re currently being impacted by COVID-19, answer No to this question.

Something helpful or confirming:

"Confirmation of Permanent Resident Document
If you have been issued a Confirmation of Permanent Resident (COPR) document and you have not yet travelled to Canada and had your landing interview, you are still a foreign national. If your counterfoil expires prior to the travel restrictions being lifted, you do not need to email us as you will receive communication from our office on the next steps to be taken once full service resumes."

Guys can anybody just explain what should I write in the web form. Step by step. Again I am outside of Canada as most of you. I have COPR and flight tickets for April 10 that haven't been cancelled yet. My COPR expires lil bit than 2 months. But we were ready to fly and as many of you sold everything that we had, quit our jobs and been just waiting to travel. and for now living with our family. We don't even have our own apartment.

Is someone from Canadian officials are going to announce or clarify this June 30 stuff? it seems like they try to hide it!

Is this not an official source?https://orders-in-council.canada.ca/attachment.php?attach=38952&lang=en

To be honest I don't know what OIC is. What I understand for sure is, any communication of this sort should reflect in an IRCC message / post. I had written to the Canadian High Commission, just got their reply. Even they didn't mention this June 30 thing. All they said was (and it's rather useless really) keep checking for messages or updates from IRCC.

The only reason people are believing the info is because it appeared in the governor of Canada website and it's a recent update

Exactly my thoughts. The "order" has been around for 48 hours. How come it doesn't reflect in IRCC. Not to mention Canadian press.

Very unlikely at this stage unless you meet certain exceptions.

I raised this question to IRCC and visa office. for now I do not have a clear answer. why? I dont know, maybe they are going to chnage it, maybe not, or maybe we should just wait until they lift the retsrictions.

Buddy - Can we return by the next flight to USA as well? Or do we need to stay in isolation?

CBSA allows you to leave. CBP will allow you as long as you can legally enter usa.
