I completely understand and its probably the right thing to do.
I'm just thinking from their point of view, your case might seem to them as 'did not travel on CoPR by choice' and not due to a necessity such as a travel ban. Especially since you are being able to travel.
You still have some time until you fly, I guess we will have better clarity by then. Also the global situation is evolving so quickly these days. Let's wait and see.

Yes, I have sent 2 emails to the Canadian embassy in UAE and received different replies. The first reply mentioned that they will be as flexible as possible if I am unable to travel before the COPR expires and the second one was more generic mentioning that I need to inform the IRCC by webform when I am able to travel after expiry so that they can let me know the next steps.
I sent a webform a couple of days ago directly to IRCC but have not received any response.

I see. I'll wait till the UAE airports reopen, then I'll send another webform. Please let me know if you get any response from the direct webform you sent to IRCC. Cheers.

Got a below reply on seeking COPR & PRV extension:


Thank you for your email.

Temporary foreign workers, some international students and approved permanent residents who haven’t yet landed are now able to enter Canada.

If you are exempt from travel restrictions, you can now travel to Canada. When you arrive in Canada, you must isolate for 14 days even if you have no symptoms. This is mandatory. Before you travel, you will need to go through health screening protocols. For more information on who is exempt, visit: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-special-measures.html

Note that even if you are now exempt from travel restrictions prohibiting travel to Canada, you may still be subject to lockdown restrictions by local authorities that prevent travel to an airport.

If your counterfoil expires prior to the restrictions being lifted, you do not need to email us as you will receive communication from our office on the next steps to be taken in order to travel to Canada after the travel restrictions have been lifted.

For up-to-date information regarding IRCC’s response to COVID-19, follow us on Facebook. As we are receiving numerous e-mails during this time, please only email us if you CANNOT find the answer through the information and helpful links on our Facebook page.

Can you or anyone else here who's recently landed in Canada please share whether you're allowed to get grocery from any nearby shop during the isolation period? If not, is there any option to contact the building manager/landlord to have groceries delivered?

I wont suggest this at all because risk is always there. Even in your home country there is a risk. But for something you have spent so much time and put in efforts, there isn't any harm in soft-landing and isolating yourself for 14 days. Rest is your decision.

Can we request them for a place to self isolate with a child.airbnb people are not too keen on taking in people. Also flights from Delhi post the lockdown period are too expensive. Further its too risky to get it done right now since flights are not offering any refund and we have already lost 2.5 lakh in air canada
