COPR and coronavirus

[niko80]

Yes though it seems that is self enforced "self isolation", so not sure how strict or well enforced it is.

Do you also interpret this to mean that non US citizens can travel from US to Canada as long as they have resided in US/Canada for last 14 days?

absolutely, it is clear now

Wow that is a relief, I thought in all this noise I am the only one interpreting the tweets (and now this link) in that way

it is now fixed in the website. the only drawback is 14 day self-isolation

Yes, but I am still wondering how they will enforce the self-isolation? Like will they stop me from returning to the US, as is my plan/hope?

it means that they may check your arrival date on departure and may not allow to depart?

That guy is the transportation minister, was also retweeted by the PMs twitter.
He not only mentions flights from US but clearly mentions "foreign nationals coming from the US"

But yes I agree it is still unclear. If the situation becomes clear by tomorrow that it does not apply to foreign nationals in the US, I will probably take a flight to Canada tomorrow from the US since it starts from 12 noon Wednesday the 18th.

Gramaticaly, it does not include the foreign nationals who reside in USA for over 14 days.

I am not sure what you mean, but here is further clarification :

For practical purposes, the denial of boarding would apply to:

• all foreign nationals on flights to Canada other than trans-border flights, and
• any foreign national on a trans-border flight who has resided outside the US and Canada in the last 14 days.

In simple terms, you cannot board a plane to Canada if you have been outside of Canada or the United States in the last 14 days, unless you are a Canadian Citizen, Canadian Permanent Resident or in transit to a 3rd country.

To me this means that all foreign nationals (not just US citizens) traveling from the US can indeed take the flight from US -> Canada

Maybe, I guess I am wondering if the guards will allow us to just turn around from the border or not :|

how do you plan to get your PR card?

 

[kmuhammadsaad]

It

I am aware of that. It still applies. If you are unable to fly before your COPR expires, then you just update them in the webform. Once you are able to fly (when the border opens), then you just submit new medical and police documents.

It also says, if you can travel do it by all means. Doesn't say you cannot travel on copr

how do you plan to get your PR card?

Cousin sister's address in Canada, had planned to use her address.
But if they say no, that's also fine, will call and update address later. Just want to finish this process, its been too long

 

[tottiren]

My copr expires in Dec 2020, can I land As a permanent resident given the border shut?

You have to stay in US for Canada or at least 14 days first I think

Yes. I have lived in the US for the last 3 years, not left the country
