Get on a flight and give it a try... of course while following the safety measures (3 days hotel+masks+quarantine 14 days)
May I ask where do you live?
I'm from the Netherlands and Dutch aircompany KLM won't allow you on their flights when you don't have the right papers.... E.g. pre March 2020 CoPR, exempt or AL

guys..based on the current daily doses.. i think they might reach 70% maximum by 16-17 of june.. and since alberta and BC dclared that "canada recreational travel" will be allowed after 1 july..then i think canada will open borders by then as well...
note that province's government cannot declare borders opening, they can allow travel between provinces only..that's why it was not included in the plan.

Alberta reached their second stage target.. they have to wait two weeks in order to implement the easing of the second stage

There' isn't any official statement so far but probabilities are high for this news to be true. I am also speculating that by July we'd be seeing some significant eases in border restrictions for all other countries.Let's hope for the best.

Wow.. thx for sharing it.. a small crack of hope

"While there has been no official word, two highly placed sources in the Blaine port of entry have told local immigration attorney Len Saunders on May 25 that the U.S. intends to unilaterally open the land border without restrictions between the U.S. and Canada on June 22. "

@Klaverveld there you go :).. transit via USA

Here is my experience coming to Canada which may help you to figure out the general context of Canada entry.I am COPR post 18 March which will expire on 27 June and I have AL because I am extended member but My wife and my sons don't have AL. We did go to the airport together to fly. Unfortunately, CBSA did chating with airline staff and they only allowed me to board. I decided to board alone to become PR, and 6 days after my flight, my family sucessfully fly separately without AL because they become immediate member of PR. The airline system is tricky with CBSA because without permission of CBSA, they don't allow people to board a flight, but It makes no sense that they don't allow my family fly together. Hope that helps guys.

Hello Everyone,

Just wanted to know about the processing time for express entry during Covid. I just submitted my application and was wondering if it is the same 6 months timeline during covid.
Thanks

my lawyer said that if you want to land and confirm PR, then you can come from US as resident not as visitor in the US. although, hope we can (we have a visit visa to USA).. if you have a confirmed source then please let us know
