@cansha @legalfalcon Any idea what this means? I don't see COVID PACE terminology but does it mean the same?

I have never seen something like this before. This seems to be something new so don't know what it means.

All applications that have been put on hold will have COVID pace. If your eligibility is passed, see my previous post on this #4,005

As long as you are not in enhanced security screening, you need not worry. As and when IRCC starts sending out PPRs, you will get one.

Are your medicals still valid? I had similar update back in January when my medicals expired and later in February I was told Montreal office extended my medicals for another year. Still waiting for final decision. FSW-O AOR June'19.

I got a ghost update today too! My AOR is also Jan 13 2020 with VO Montreal, but I’m FSW outland.
According to the most recent GCMS notes, the GU on Aug. 5 was triggered by officer review. Everything is passed, but the note also says "Final decision 'Pending' due to Covid travel restrictions".

That’s odd because newly approved applicants from the US are exempt from travel restrictions
Right, but it seems only very few applicants in the US have been approved and got PPR recently.

In the note itself it specifically mentions PA in USA. The whole last sentence in the officer review is "Final decision 'Pending' due to Covid travel restrictions, Meds valid until 2021/xx/xx, PA in USA".

Do you have dependents on your application? If yes, is everybody in the US?
