CoPR post March 18 Travel Exemption

[pisces88]

Hello everyone,

I'm happy to announce that I got my authorization letter to travel to Canada under EXTENDED family travel exemption with a CoPR post March 18. My request was initially refused on Dec 8, stating that only IMMEDIATE family members are exempted to travel for CoPRs issued after the 18th of March. I still gave it another shot and resubmitted three weeks after and finally got the approval in 16 days.

So for those who are wondering whether or not PR visa holders with CoPR post Mar 18 are even eligible to travel under such exemption, the answer is -- YES WE ARE! So long as you disclose an honest and essential reason for travel and meet the necessary requirements, then it's worth a try

I specifically want to thank @K7moda and @legalfalcon for taking their time to answer my questions, I really appreciate it.

Hi,
Are you a PNP applicant? Just curious on how would it work in my case where I have sibling in other province but my COPR/PRV was approved via OINP?

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, I’m a PNP applicant via AINP. My exended family member, however, lives in Ontario. I stated that I will temporarily stay in Ontario, but will eventually move and permanently live and work in Alberta

Thank for your prompt response.

I have few more questions, if you could help with them?

1. Did you fill a webform stating all those details about relationship? or were there any forms that were needed to filled by You and Your family member ?

2. Also, temporary stay in Ontario you mentioned, was this stated in the webform as well?

3. Also, are your spouse/kids allowed to travel with you?


Thanks

Hi. Congratulations brother. Did you attach any proofs?

Thank you! I attached the IMM 0006 form, Canadian passport of my extended family member, my PRV and COPR, and quarantine plan

Awesome! I have a brother and sister who live in Canada (my brother is a citizen and sister is PR). My visa and COPR will be expired on April 15th. Do I have any chances if I follow the same process as yours? Thank you and best of luck.

You can certainly try. Check this link and follow the 6-step process under extended family member https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/visitors/immediate-family.html

Thank you very much! I am so grateful to you.

You’re welcome!

one last question - the sibling will need to sign the form by solemn declaration. Who can sign it for him? how much would it cost?
