Hello All,

I landed in Toronto yesterday and the travel was smooth. Authorities in Air India did not bother about my status and the authorities at Indian immigration just asked me the reason for travel.

Upon arrival, the CIBC authorities in immigration took the documents for PR card and told me that I would get the card in 8 weeks. I was informed the I will need to apply for SIN online.

Regards,
Sridhar

Congratulations!

FYI - CBSA was wrong about the PR card processing times (they generally have no clue about processing times). Processing of PR cards is currently around 15 weeks - plus you have to factor in additional time for mailing. So you're looking at 4-5 months to get the PR card.

I am having valid COPR(Confirmation of Permanent resident) with a single entry visa(expiry date: 20th July,2020)As per Canada immigration guidelines, I am exempt from travel restrictions as our PR application was approved before 18th March.


https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/immigration-applicants.html#approved-before
(Permanent residence applications approved on or before March 18, 2020 : If we approved your application on or before March 18, 2020, but you haven’t travelled to Canada yet, you’re exempt from the travel restriction measures.)

As per MHA guidelines II, there is nothing mentioned about COPR visa eligibility. It's only mentioned about OCI, greencard holders and indian nationals holding visa with residual validity of 3 months.

Could you please confirm if I am eligible to book tickets under VBM initiative.

On a post on another thread, a person mentioned that they were able to travel to Canada using Air France flight from Mumbai to Paris and then an Air Canada flight from Paris to Toronto. They landed in Canada 2 days ago.

As far as I know, Air India officials should not have any objections admitting passengers as long as they are allowed entry into the destination country. I have booked my flights for 21st June from Delhi to Toronto on an Air India flight. I am travelling with my spouse and kid so I have done considerable research to ensure that the travel will be allowed.

When did the person travel via Air France?

Hello,
To those who were scheduled to fly via Vande Bharat flights to Toronto in June - Did they let you board?
How did you book the Vande Bharat flight? Since Air India website shows all flights to Toronto as SOLD OUT. Kindly help!
Appreciate your time.
