Some good news

"......The new modelling showed that restrictions could be lifted when 75 per cent of adults have received their first doses and 20 per cent have received their second doses of vaccines. When that scenario is reached, “restrictive measures could be gradually eased as long as adequate tests, trace [and] isolate capacity and individual precautions are maintained,” Tam explained. "

"....... As of April 25, Canada has fully vaccinated one million people, while another 10 million have received first doses. To reach Tam’s 75-20 metric, another 13.7 million adults will need first doses while another 5.3 million require second doses.

Right now, Canada is administering an average of around 300,000 doses a day. At our current pace, Canada will reach that 75 per cent first-dose mark by June 6, a little over a month away, according to Trevor Tombe, an associate professor of economics at the University of Calgary, who provides daily updates on Canada’s vaccine progress on his Twitter feed....."

By June there should be some sort of update on travel restrictions
By end of year there should be a strategy in place
This nightmare should come to an end very soon.

For fun... tabulated some data...

First Dose	300,000 per day
Month	Planned (millions)	Actual (millions)	Comments
25-Apr-21	10	10	https://www.macleans.ca/news/what-n...ys-about-when-canada-might-lift-restrictions/
03-May-21	12.4	13.9	https://globalnews.ca/news/7829119/covid-vaccine-first-dose-canada/
09-May-21	14.2	16.83	Forecasted based on Actual Data (April 25and May 3)
23-May-21	18.4	23.65	Forecasted based on Actual Data (April 25and May 3)
06-Jun-21	22.6	30.47	Forecasted based on Actual Data (April 25and May 3)
20-Jun-21	26.8	37.30	Forecasted based on Actual Data (April 25and May 3)

Those that are in red are forecasted figures relative to the actual data (April and May 2021) provided from the two sources.
So by the look of it, if the pace stays the same, by end of May 2021 75% could be acheived; ahead of the planned schedule.

This does not take into account the second does target.

Five min read.. MP Christine Normandin defending those post march 2020

...
"There does not appear to be a health justification" for the current travel restrictions imposed on COPR holders, says federal MP Christine Normandin."
...
“Many fear the expiration of their COPRs and the need to start the process all over again, with the costs of medical examinations and criminal background checks that this entails, which can be costly, especially for a family."

.....
“We are also concerned that this will place an additional burden on immigration officers if, while waiting for the restrictions to be lifted, applicants are required to undergo repeat medical examinations and criminal background checks, which officers will then have to reassess."

....
“We believe that this situation sends the wrong message to immigrants,” Normandin concludes in her letter. "
