Hello sir,
Thankyou so much for your valuable suggestion, we did the same . Today morning my husband called to my airline and asked about the same , they clearly said that they will not stop anyone because as of now they didn't get any official information regarding this, but they suggested that first check with the immigration department in airport once they allowed means we will not stop you, what she said . So after this my husband called to immigration and they said that till this date we didn't got any update like this we passed all the safety instructions to all the airlines what we got but we didn't got any instructions like this so you guys please do as you planned, what he said.
So we decided to travel.
Thankyou.

What are youll planning now? We too are so stuck as we don’t know when the travel ban will be raised and I hope IRCC is understanding to extend all our visas because of the situation. plus we will lose some money from plane tickets and also we are gonna be dipping into savings from now on as we don’t have jobs. R ul also from Mumbai? Did you’ll fill out the web form?

I am from Delhi and today my Father went to Canadian embassy in person here in Delhi and showed them my CoPR/PRV and was told that currently CoPRs are not allowed to travel and we should wait for few days ( 6-7 days) for next update.

In this scenario as we are not able to travel due to Canada's travel ban we must fill Web Form and send email to local VO stating the same with documentary proofs and wait for update from Local VO. I did the same and attached ticket bookings.

I hope they open entries for CoPR holders by next update ( Once influx of Canadian Citizens and PR holders calms down on 4 airports open right now) or at least give some info on CoPR visa extension without getting medical / PCC done again. But as we have just 10 days left before expiry most likely visa extension is the only option for people like us given that we might not even get air tickets in such haste.

I am jobless and just using this time to enhance my skills and working on things i wanted to do for sometime like creating a Udemy course and writing technical blog LOL. But if situation stays the same for more than 30-40 days without any clear direction from IRCC I will find a job here in India.

Meanwhile Stay home , Stay healthy, Stay packed and ready to go at all times while utilizing free time to do something positive :)

Be careful guys on just announcing something without sources... at this critical moment of time, we need to be sure and not live with assumption, if anyone read what I wrote before, I have already investigated with CBSA, CIC, AIR CANADA...alll we can do at the moment is share official news if we get any, or share official experinces if we get any, from my side I have contated the Federal and Visa office who treated my application, I will let everyone knows in case of any news.

Just all keep in mind that airlines as sure everyone here knows are parking up the majority of their planes/laying off staff given either they do not want to fly empty or due to countries banning international arrivals completely making even transits challenging. let alone directs

Even as and when things improve which could be months away airlines cannot simply 'unpark' their planes and reactivate their crews. They may have to schedule safety checks/maintenance and then cabin crews / pilots may or may not have licence/ hours issues depending how long this goes on assuming of course the airlines have not actually fired people versus put them on unpaid leave.

Not going to be easy for airlines who may even use this as an opportunity to retire planes and non profitable routes.

Seems pretty optimistic for example that Trumps UK/EU 30 day flight ban will not go on for a few months and you could say the real winners may be the climate change activists

As for calling an airline call center unfortunately it is what happens at checkin that is important as call centers generally are not always the most reliable source of upto date information.

I was going to stay through airbnb for a week and search for accommodation from there.

Situation seems to be quite worse than expected so I'm also thinking about moving in May.
