I have received my COPR on 12 January 2021 and have a valid job offer from a Canadian employer. Is it possible to apply for an exemption from the travel restrictions? Has anyone managed to get an authorisation from IRCC to travel to Canada with a COPR issued after 18 March 2020? Thank you.

All family members need a travel exemption. And if for example, it is your sister who lives in Canada only you can get travel authorization. Your children are not considered extended family and cannot travel.

Web reference for what? Who can travel. You are extended family (sibling) but the rest of your family is not. Not mention of sibling and his/her family.

Extended family members who want to unite with a Canadian citizen, person registered under Canada’s Indian Act or permanent resident
To be considered an extended family member of a Canadian citizen, person registered under Canada’s Indian Act or permanent resident, it depends on who you’re related to and how.

If your relationship is with a Canadian citizen, person registered under Canada’s Indian Act or permanent resident

You must be

  • in an exclusive dating relationship, have been in the relationship for at least 1 year and have spent time in the physical presence of that person at some point during the relationship
    • You and the person you’re in the relationship with must both be 18 years of age or older.
  • a non-dependent child (adult child)
  • a grandchild (dependent child of a non-dependent adult child)
  • a sibling, half-sibling or step-sibling
  • a grandparent

I thought there is an exemption for COPR holders after March 18, IF you're travelling from the US?

Written clearly in point 4 - a sibling. It doens’t say sister in law or nieces/nephews. You get travel authorization. Go to Canada, land, and then they travel later.
