COPR and coronavirus

When did you book?
I think international travel is restricted till April 30. so it won't be easy for you to fly out. You can definitely get an extension on your copr.
The only confirmed news that I have is Air India is not booking flights till April 30. There is no confirmed travel ban after 15 . The decision will be taken few days prior to 15 th April .
I booked the flight few days back . I know the chances are bleak . But just so I can be peaceful after expiry of Copr , I booked the flight. I was troubled by the fact of facing a situation where I could have flown but didn’t fly .

Even if there is no extension on the lockdown, international travel will not resume straight away after a lockdown. They will definitely put restrictions and will not make it easy to fly out.
Don't try to rush out to complete your landing because situation is not good in Canada either.You have a very strong case and should get an extension.So don't stress too much
@MelCan2020 hi I am in the same situation you were in. I went to the airport but they denied me boarding saying my travel was non-essential even though my Copr expires in April. Can you please let me know why you were exempt? Thanks!
Have you reached out to IRCC about this. That's suitable grounds for exemption imo. Send them any proof you have that you were denied boarding. Good luck
Hello,
My COPR expires on 12th May,2020 and I was set to travel on april 24th, but my flight has been cancelled. I raised webform and received response to contact local visa office for same, I reached out via email as there is no Telephone number to the office, and have not yet receieved any response. I only received email receipt confirmation, not sure if I should wait or contact Ottawa office. Also, I will not be able to make this travel for coming 6 months as my country of residence has travel restriction and I won't be let in, If i make this travel within 6 month period. Please advise.

Who denied you boarding?
Guys, unless something has changed since the exemptions were introduced on March 26, no one can deny you boarding. IRCC have already provided exemptions for COPR holders.
What date is your COPR and PR visa if applicable?

Hi everyone. Need suggestion. My Visa is expiring on the 17th April and travel ban in India will be lifted on 14th, hence I only have 2 days window to travel and I desperately want to do soft landing and get my PR status activated. Since I have to stay in quarantine, I will have to stay there for 15 days. With the above plan what could be the challenges I may face?
