Follow this video.

I followed this.

I didn't understand most because it wasn't in English but I could follow along. Thank you!

select not exempt from travel and then select the category that is relevant. If not then select none of the above. You should still be able to get a code i believe.

when i travelled back to Canada last month, i also selected that i am exempt from travel but then the immigration officer asked me if i am an essential worker and i told him i'm just a permanent resident returning, he then himself selected a few options and asked me to fill in my details like address n all.


AL Update
My wife also received her AL yesterday. She has 60 days to complete the travel. After almost 6 months on what seemed to be like a never ending wait, finally there's something to be happy about. This forum has been a great support throughout. For all those who are still waiting, hang in there. Looks like IRCC is turning the corner.

Will update on her travel experience once she lands.

Thank you for your input on the ArriveCAN app. I'm not sure if I'll be exempt since I'll be working in healthcare. I guess the officer will complete his or her assessment and let me know.

Hi
I have a small query, my medical expired on 23rd August 2020 and I still have not heard from them, so should I proceed with getting upfront medicals or should I wait?

Hi,

I have a valid COPR issued after March 2020, and a valid America visit visa. Now I am supposed to visit America to visit my brother in late February for a week, can I fly from there to Canada to permanently settle?

I am asking because on https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/wizard-start it says:

"from the United States (including connections, so long as you enter Canada from the U.S.)"

Did you already receive your Copr?

Hi Everyone,

I have a question and would appreciate it if anyone can help me. I started my education online in India at a Canadian university in Sept 2020. I have been waiting for a COPR extension for the past 8 months (counterfoil expiry pre 18 march). It is very important for me to travel to Canada to continue my education. Can I apply for a student visa in this situation?

@legalfalcon please advise.

Can someone tell me why the F is IRCC sending ITAs with a CRS score threshold of 75 when there are thousands of expired COPR holders who are waiting God knows what for a simple authorization letter?

Thank you, it's working again now. I think it was a technical problem from their side.Are you post march, is your copr about to expire? I don't know if I should send an email to ask for extension, but to what adress, my VO was sydney. Good luck to you as well!

Im glad it worked. Yeah I am post march, and my COPR is to expire on 30 March 2021.

With a cOPR you cannot currently travel unless you are exempt from travel restrictions or have an authorisation. You can write to IRCC and inform them that you have been admitted into the university and that you should be exempt and allowed to travel. However, whether this request is acknowledged is at the discretion or IRCC.

YEs, you can apply for a student visa.
