COPR and coronavirus

[FJK1982]

Dear all,

Is there any UAE resident who wants to travel to canada for landing and plan to return back to UAE?
Though flights are available for both inbound and outbound, it requires approval from MOFAIC.. to travel back to UAE..

Also, did anyone so far get the sure steps for COPR extension?
If we are sure enough, I would prefer to delay my landing and would plan for my permanent move once things are better.. dont want to take any chances with my Kid, specially!!

I m in the same boat!

Hi , I am also in UAE..I think inbound will be a problem and what if we are not allowed to enter

Cool..Did they ask you any questions regarding Quarantine, like where will you stay and show a copy of stay etc?

Yes, I was asked about 4 different places in the airport to confirm that I have a stay where I can get all the required amenities without interacting much. They did not asked for any proof, just kind of self declaration.

Which terminal in YYZ did you enter through, also are there any temperature checks at airport , Also did they ask you any questions about Quarantine and show a proof of stay, i'm planning to stay at my sister's place so not sure what they will say

Flight landed in Terminal-3, no temperature checks at both US and Canada. They asked questions for quarantine at multiple places, but no proof needed, just have a sign a self-declaration with address details.
If staying at a shared apartment, other persons will also need to quarantine, so not sure about officer's reaction to that.

No, they need not match except for special cases like Quebec where you will have to clarify.

Hi Rahul,

I am also a UAE resident. MOFAIC is no longer handling approvals, its the ICA now. Although you only need to get approval if you plan to return back to the UAE.

As far as I'm aware, there are flight options with Emirates Airlines as well as with KLM flying via Amsterdam.

 

[saad_im]

Not sure, I am waiting and watching. My CoPR will expire 01/Sep, and I need to come back for sure. hope things will get better soon

Have you tried applying for an approval from ICA?

Hi , I am also in UAE..I think inbound will be a problem and what if we are not allowed to enter

Hi, I'm a UAE resident too. Yes you need to get approval from ICA to return back to UAE. Plus it will require 14 days mandatory quarantine upon arrival in Dubai as well... What flight options have you looked at?
