Hey guys, I want to share some good news with you.
https://globalnews.ca/news/7967149/covid-fully-vaccinated-canadians-quarantine-border/?utm_source=notification

“Another change that was announced is that individuals approved for permanent residence are now able to travel to Canada as of Monday.” ”Previously, foreign nationals who held a valid Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) issued after March 18, 2020 could only come to Canada if they were coming from the U.S. to settle permanently in Canada.“


It seems like everyone who has the PPR is now able to enter Canada which means IRCC no longer has to hold the application that involves outland dependent(s).

Hopefully we can start to see signaficant movement soon.

But in this article, they never said whether they will be issuing new COPRs or not. They are only allowing people who already have a COPR. Can someone please clarify? Thanks
But they don’t have any reason to hold the files due to travel restrictions and as of 5 July fully vaccinated people can travel which means they need to issue copr to the people who have outland dependent

VACs has to resume sending passport requests and start printing the VISAs. Only then our dependents back home can have any hope. Until then our applications will be in unofficial hold. Hoping for a good news soon.. it's almost a year since I saw my wife last time.. I left India within two weeks after our wedding..
