Hello, just a quick question. For PNP PR visa holders that don't have a direct flight, where do you guys need to do the isolation? Is it in the first POE (like Vancouver or Toronto)? or to your final destination/province where you will be staying? I am a PNP PR visa holder, although I have not yet landed in Canada and most likely will land by June or July.
By the way, if this question has been asked or answered by someone, please help me find the link.
Thank you all

Yes, and not just that - Flights have to be incoming for them to start leaving india with people - even India is restricting passengers and travel. So it won't be like Apr 14 lockdown done, country just bounces back the next day. It's going to take a few days at least.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
So Guys !! My COPR expired on 25 March and I did not travel to Canada due to Corona Outbreak. I have raised webform on 9 March and received true response (not the automated one) on 2 April. They mentioned me that they are extending my medicals to another six months and they will update me on re-issuing my COPR and landing VISA. So chill guys. They are helping us in the crisis situation like this. Make sure everyone who have expiry dates coming up up shortly, proactively raise webform to make our case strong . Below is the response I got.
Thank you for your enquiry.
Note: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is affecting immigration, refugees, citizenship and passport services.
Please refer to our public website for information on how this may affect you: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/immigration-applicants.html#approved
Please do not attempt to enter Canada using the visas and confirmation of permanent residence (COPR) documents that expired on March 25, 2020.
It appears that your immigration medical exam (IME) has been extended to 2020/09/17; new visas and COPRs will also be issued with an extended date.
Once it is possible for you to travel, use the Web form to let us know so we can tell you what to do next.
Please ensure that your passport remains valid; you must hold a valid passport at the time of travel and landing.
If you renew your passport in the near future, please advise us of the new passport information.
Regards,
Everyone should keep in mind as you have said that airlines around the world are parking planes and furloughing crews many through end May so just because one country eases restrictions does not necessarily mean an airline from outside that country will suddenly start services again.
Some airlines seem also be be taking a gamble on taking bookings for May despite the fact they may have parked 70-80 percent of their planes and furloughed 70-80 percent of their crews through end May. Also of course once a plane has been parked for a while from a safety view it will not just be a case of starting it up, it may well need to go through maintenance checks if parked for a few weeks/months, given we are often talking a few hundred planes for some airlines it will take time..
Not an easy question to answer but here is a link that refers specifically to Canadians transiting to domestic travel. Have not seen a link specific to foreign travellers at the moment but given the deluge of COVID suspect there is one somewhere. I suspect everyone is praying that the quanrantine rule will be relaxed by June/July but seems a long shot at the moment

That's a clear reply you have received with extension of your medical exam.
By the way, do you know your Visa Office?
I got this response from CPC Winnipeg (Canada) but my actual VISA office is New Delhi.
This is good news Rajiv. Congratulations!! Was this a response to your web form? Did you raise just one or multiple? Did you also send an email to the New Delhi visa office?
I have raised 2 webforms actually. This was the response for the first ever webform, I did send an email to Delhi office as well
My medicals expiry date is until May first week
Thanks for quick response. My COPR expiring 19th April and i have already raised a webform. Visa office New Delhi
Thats a relief!! Did you raise mail to Delhi VO ? or using generic webform link ?
