Hey guys, I would like to share a great news with everyone!!!

My parents have finally arrived in Canada. They got their COPR in Jan & finally managed to catch a flight!!!! It was very close.

Here are some tips. I hope this will be helpful to some of you.

Pick up at Pearson Airport
Only passengers with valid plane tickets are allowed to enter the building. You'll have to wait outside the pick up zone and passengers will need to come out. Make sure to inform your parents / grandparents in advance so they won't be waiting inside for you to come pick them up.

Health insurance
If your parent's home country has issued a travel warning to Canada which at this point I believe pretty much every country has done, health insurance will NOT be covered. We bought health insurance & had to get it refunded because they won't be covered in Canada.

Ontario currently provides free Covid related treatment to everyone including uninsured individuals. It may change at anytime. Make sure to do your own research.

https://www.ontario.ca/page/apply-ohip-and-get-health-card
"As of March 19, 2020 we are waiving the three-month waiting period for OHIP coverage. If you do not meet the criteria for OHIP coverage and are uninsured, the province will fund the cost of COVID-19 services."

Good luck everyone!

@YULIA-2016 @robertp @laxsun please update my record. My parents received pre-arrival services letter today. Also, I checked ECAS. Status changed to Decision Made for PR Application Status part. Most likely it changed today as well, but I am not sure about that. I was checking once a week or so at this point.

That was super news for me on Canada day.

Thank you!
Hi dude, you are first June applicant reported good news. Look like they are making decision for Junes now.

Ok I’m getting very frustrated. I had a baby on June 5th. I’m the co-signer on the application and the representative. I’ve tried contacting IRCC three times using the web form and I keep getting e-mails back saying my information doesn’t match. It does match. How am I supposed to update any information if they don’t let me?

When I filled a IRCC webform for my spousal sponsorhip status update, I faced the same problem. Then I filled the NDVO webform, it worked because my sponsorhip file is there.
