Hi there,
I am also in a very difficult situation as like others due to Covid-19. At the moment I am on my PGWP and came to India for vacation. I didn't know about the travel ban. I wanted to ask if PGWP applicants also consider as "all other temporary foreign workers" in the new travel travel exemptions. When it will be possible to come to back to Canada. Please suggest.
Just keep in mind that airlines are starting to shutdown, Emirates for example announced temporarily suspending all flights from Weds March 25th So not long before others follow

Thanks. How about the ones who are approved to obtain a work permit at POE but haven't arrive Canada to obtain it? Are they eligible to go to Canada now?

i know the update but they said do not travel immediately
On March 20, 2020, the Government of Canada provided an update on travel restrictions put in place to stem the spread of COVID-19. Foreign nationals who have committed to working, studying or making their home in Canada will be permitted to enter Canada by air or land. They will be exempt from the air travel and border restrictions and will be allowed to enter Canada.
Temporary foreign workers, as well as international students who have a valid study permit or who were approved for a study permit before March 18, 2020, and foreign nationals who were approved for permanent residence before March 16, 2020, but who hadn’t yet travelled to Canada, will be exempt from these restrictions. We will announce when these exemptions are in effect, with an expected date of early during the week of March 22, 2020.
Workers, students and approved permanent residents who haven’t landed should not travel yet. We’ve announced exemptions but they’re not in place. Travel restrictions are still in effect for these groups.
Only Canadian citizens, and permanent residents, and some foreign nationals travelling from the United States (US) who have been in the US for at least 14 days and are asymptomatic, are able to enter Canada by air at this time.
CIC has given an update on exemption travellers but it still looks confusing to me regarding the temporary workers. Those people who are holding an open work permit (PGWP). Can they enter now?

On thing that has been strengthened is the now mandatory 14 days isolation on arrival, no use of public transport to residence, no stopping off on the way, if found not in compliance then subject to upto 750k fine or upto 6 months jail. No idea how they will police this but nobody should not follow the guideline.
