no this is for inland processing. Outland remain as is, you will need to travel to Canada, for now.
Hello,

So can we make a phone interview appointment now? I'm desperately waiting for the CoPR to be validated as I am going to pay for my graduate tuition fee very soon on 15 May

Thank you

Not in Canada, there is NO interview!

If you are not in Canada, there is NO interview available or offered for any applicant. I am assuming you are currently outside Canada, since you mentioned waiting to pay tuition fee.

For anyone not currently in Canada, CoPR can only be validated by travelling to Canada and at a Canadian POE (point of entry).

University College Admissions:

Regarding your admission et al, may I suggest contacting your institution and asking:
  1. for clarity on current (revised) rules about refund
  2. alternatively transferring to the next term in case of extended lock-down in your home country
  3. also rules for inability to travel for other COVID19 related reasons. Such as, individual preference to avoiding travel risk due to COVID19.
  4. Confirmation via email (aka recorded document), will help you in retracting fees/refunds or transferring to next term.

Best wishes!

Please excuse my ignorance but can somebody tell me what's the deal with interviews?
I thought it was not needed under the Express Entry program.

Canadian High Commission in India FB page has been updated with respect to flights ban.

Confirmation of Permanent Resident Document

If you have been issued a Confirmation of Permanent Resident (COPR) document on or before March 18, 2020, but you have not travelled to Canada yet, you are exempt from the travel restriction measures and can travel to Canada once commercial flights become available.

If your counterfoil expires prior to commercial flights becoming available, you do not need to email us as you will receive communication from our office on the next steps to be taken once full-service resumes.

People are talking about landing interview at POE or IRCC office in Canada. It's after you have COPR when you want to activate your PR status.
