While reading through the forum i came across some posts where some of you had tickets booked for March and April. Has anyone travelled amidst all this COVID 19 chaos.? Are there any restrictions for flying out. Our PR visas have expiry dates. How can we all wait till all this settles. I was planning to fly in 1st week of May, but not sure as to whether to book tickets now or not. If anyone has or are about to fly , please do share your experience. My visa is expiring on June 6.

Hi All,

So about 25 normal days.

Did you got any info regarding your query?
As per my knowledge people with CoPR and PR visa are not allowed to enter canada as they are considered as foreign national till the time they land in Canada.

Listened PM Trudeau speech yesterday. He clearly said only Canadian citizens, PR holders and US citizens will be allowed to enter our country till further notice.


Hope this clears your doubt.
