Even if the embassy or US authorities allows it, the Indian authorities sometimes deny boarding as they are not well versed in the up to date regulations. I don't have a specific example available but I know this always occurs especially in grey areas or if its not a clear cut regulation. Just...

@SithLord Thanks for the update above. Someone recommended the Facebook group(s) - Canadians stranded in India. I took the below snippet from one of the pinned posts. Hope it helps. NOTE: Removed some flight schedule information as it may not be relevant Source: I am happy to share via a link...

Just to clarify, when we transit do we mean two separate tickets or just a connecting flight (in which bags should automatically be transferred) ?

Great! Are your documents in order? Is there a different sub-forum where I can ask questions related to it? On another note - I haven't seen any India govt. instructions for international flights in August yet. Are people booking flights already on Qatar or Lufthansa etc.?

I dont mind that at all. For the record, my travel plan is for Aug 7-8 or Aug 14-15. I would prefer not to delay it further unless flight schedules/availability become constraints.

Thanks for the clarification. 1. I checked Etihad, looks like they are showing flights from Aug 16th with a comment saying 'Government Approval awaiting' or something similar. 2. Emirates is showing flights in August too, although, all of them have at least 1 connection. Will have to check...

EMIRATES :Travel from India: Flights to Dubai will be restricted only to UAE residents with GDRFA/ ICA approval. Passengers are required to take a PCR test, conducted not more than 96 hours before departure. The UAE will accept Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)...

Much appreciated. The question now is - Is Emirates and Etihad operating in August from India? If yes, are they allowing COPR holders to board (i think you confirmed this but want to double check) ?

I know you didn't ask me, but I am looking at any flights via any location in August. Must be a single ticket flight though. I definitely don't want to deal with the uncertainty and hassle of obtaining a transit visa etc.

Yes! I think we are expecting to hear about which airlines will be operating in August sometime this week. Just waiting on that information before making any bookings. Air India too should be releasing their next phase flight information shortly. Currently, everything is appearing as 'Sold Out'...

Technically soft landing is not allowed in the current climate. Not sure how that is being enforced though.

Thanks, I didn't know that ! After reading more about the 'air bubbles' I have yet to come across any information about which airlines will be operating in August. I am just trying to consolidate what I know so far so please feel free to add/comment on the below. Pretty sure my knowledge has...

Curious - Why is no one talking about Qatar airlines as an option to travel to Canada? Last I heard, people successfully made it to Canada and I know some people have made bookings and are planning to leave India later in July.

It does say 'Avoid' so hotels are probably not the first preference but still an option? I don't know why that would include Airbnb though.

Thank you for the response! I agree, the situation is very fluid and may change as the date approaches 10/2020 and an extension filing just before will make the most sense. I wasn't planning on filing it just yet anyway. I will start investigating the process for sponsoring my wife just in case...

So a dependent could get their COPR extension? Forgot to mention, I am the primary applicant. Would Covid-19 be a reasonable reason to apply for an extension?

** HOPE THIS IS THE RIGHT FORUM FOR THE BELOW POST** Hi All -Will try to keep this short and concise folks Background & Current Status : Received COPR in 2019 with an expiry of Oct 2020 for BOTH me and my wife (Express Entry candidate) Currently in India but other have a residence in the US...
