Hi guys!

I was recently issued my COPR on 22nd Sep 2020 with an expiration date in January 2021. However, I’m not exempted from travel restriction currently in place as I’m a foreign national and applied for outland FSW express entry. Although I still have some time before my COPR expires, I am afraid that travel restrictions can prevail and it’ll eventually expire.

I have two question:

What can be done if COPR expires and you are not able to land in Canada prior to that due to COVID-19 situation?

Is there a way I can apply for exemption from travel restrictions currently? I need to be there for my sister, so I was hoping to travel as soon as I got my COPR.

Kindly assist.
Thank you in advance.

Thank you so much! I reside in Pakistan. If you don’t mind me asking, when did you apply? My application took over a year due to the Covid. Also, which country?

The COPR has nothing but there was a separate letter in my envelope that stated that due to the travel ban, i’m not allowed to travel as yet. However, things might change in near future so I should keep an eye out for that.

I hope you hear the good news soon.

Yes it did! Passports typically take about 15-30 days to be delivered. I don’t know how mine came so quick. It’ll arrive soon.

Congratulations. Try to raise a webform saying that you are ready to travel and see what they will reply.

Hi guys,

Can approved Permanent Residents who received their COPR after March 18 now travel to Canada? Any idea when are the restrictions going to be lifted?
