Hi! In chat groups, people have been taking a chance (to avoid COPR expiry) and traveling inspite of having a post March 18th approved COPR since quite a few people were lucky not to be barred entry. It seems the March 18th rule isn't enforced well. You mentioned they are strict these...

To add further, it seems even the "exemptions" are not being implemented as per the rule. I have seen multiple posts in whatsapp groups wherein people with Post-March 18 approved and valid COPR, were able to travel without any questions asked. People with valid COPRs (approved post March 18) are...

Transiting may not be allowed..as described below: You are exempt from the current travel restrictions and can come to Canada if you have a valid COPR, and the COPR was issued on or before March 18, 2020, or the COPR was issued after March 18, 2020 and you are an immediate family member...

Good news!

Its a valid concern, especially when they explicitly state to come only if you are planning to settle and not just to finalize the application...

Wow, in this case, are you planning for upfront medical or will you wait for their ready to travel email?

MP Raquel has been awesome in raising this issue and following up. But looking at the government's response so far, they seem to be just (1) dodging the issue, (2) flatly denying it at times or (3) giving general statements/assurances...mostly oscillating between these three...lol Hope they...

Hello! Did you receive the PP and new extended COPR? Hope everything went fine...

Yup, by keeping borders open for US based COPR holders, the logic that it's about COVID doesn't make sense... Plus the fact that they have increased ITAs these days, 5000 compared to 3900 pre-COVID with an already piled up heap of expired/expiring COPRs... Illogical, but maybe the priority is...

Wow, thats surprising (and good) to hear. Do you think the discussion is available online that you know?

Sometimes i wonder if they understand the situation. When an issue about people stranded with expires COPR was raised by an MP, this was the response ...

Hahaha...totally agreed. Especially, the last line. When I see people in whatsapp groups and forums frustrated with delay in PPR, i wish they know its better to be in that stage rather than a short duration COPR status or with an expired COPR...

If they are considering economic conditions, they shouldn't be increasing the ITAs...its much higher than earlier levels. Or maybe its to offset the same economic conditions..keep the money coming in ..;)

Hello, The travel restrictions is till Jan 21.. Any particular reason that you mention Dec to Mar?

Wow, this is crazy if true...
