I am Indian National and This is in reference with my permanent residence application that was recently approved on 11 Feb 2020. I was given only 45 days deadline which is 25 Mar 2020 to land in Canada. I have also received my COPR with same validity (25 Mar 2020). Due to Coronavirus outbreak situation, it is difficult to travel to Canada within the above said deadline. I had initially planned my travel on 14 March 2020 and 15th March 2020 via Germany but the flights got cancelled due to CoronaVirus situation. Also the transiting countries from home country have got a lot of confirmed coronavirus cases. Is it possible to extend the validity to land in canada considering the current difficult situation? Will this affect my current "approved" status ? Will my CRS scores, medicals and Police certificates be still valid with my application?
Also, the chances of getting quarantined in Canada as well as in India is high at the moment.
P.S: I have raised my concern via "WEB FORM" to IRCC and also contacted Delhi Immigration Office (IRCC- New Delhi) via phone, but they asked us to write an official email which i did as well.
Since the expiry date is very short and still no response from IRCC, are there any chances of extending the COPR validity?
Is anybody facing similar situation?

No need to panic guys, as Canadian govt. has banned entry for all non-Canadian its not your fault anymore. Raise a webform and let them know that you can not travel due to COVID-19 outbreak and Ban on non-Canadian to entry Canada.
They are asking you to raise another webform when are you able to travel, so all in all this may delay your travel by few weeks.
In the same boat. CoPR expiring on 31st March. I was to travel on 21st March. I raised webform case and sent direct email to Delhi immigration email id. Waiting for any official update on CoPR extension. Fingers crossed.
As per this link, COPR and PRV holders are encouraged to travel if they CAN. Otherwise you can notify them via webform your reasons for not being able to travel and maybe request for extension of COPR.
