coronavirus china

Doesnt affect as of now. There is risk in travelling because there are lots of chinese travellers to canada.
Citing this reason and the fear around any international travel currently due to the coronavirus can we request IRCC to give us with some flexibility in traveling/appearing in person to claim the PR card.
We have received the Copr recently and we will have to do the landing by February 20.
Guys lemme know with your thoughts and how to contact the IRCC team if i have to request for a date adjustment?

When did you get approval? If you waited until the last month to land you may not get an extension. This is incredibly unusual situation and it will depend on how long this lasts. Where in China are you located?
I got the approval during Nov 2019.Am staying in the US currently and ny concern is more around travelling to toronto international airport at this point as there are chances of having to navigate around more foreign passengers who may or may not be suffering from this infection
You would be pushing the proverbial envelope if you used the above reason in asking for an extension, since you're in the US already. And currently the risk in North America is pretty much non existent, and doesn't the US currently have more confirmed cases then Canada ?
This won't be an acceptable reason for delaying COPR as you are already in the US. You could fly to Buffalo and take a bus to Toronto, but you'd be navigating around other people the whole way.
Being locked up in Wuhan would potentially be an acceptable reason.
Keep in mind that you can drive and land at a land boarder crossing. No need to go to an airport. Problem solved.
I'm in a similar situation. My last date for landing is mid May and I live in Los Angeles, CA. A lot have changed since your post and there are way more confirmed and new cases in North America. Did you reach out to CIC asking for an extension?
There is absolutely nothing preventing someone in the US from coming to Canada to land. IRCC is not going to grant you an extension.
You're in higher risk in the US than Canada, if you're pointing at the increased number of cases. It would be in your best interest to head for Alberta or Saskatchewan right now.
