By June there should be some sort of update on travel restrictions
By end of year there should be a strategy in place
This nightmare should come to an end very soon.

For fun... tabulated some data...
Those that are in red are forecasted figures relative to the actual data (April and May 2021) provided from the two sources.
So by the look of it, if the pace stays the same, by end of May 2021 75% could be acheived; ahead of the planned schedule.
This does not take into account the second does target.

Five min read.. MP Christine Normandin defending those post march 2020
...
"There does not appear to be a health justification" for the current travel restrictions imposed on COPR holders, says federal MP Christine Normandin."
...
“Many fear the expiration of their COPRs and the need to start the process all over again, with the costs of medical examinations and criminal background checks that this entails, which can be costly, especially for a family."
.....
“We are also concerned that this will place an additional burden on immigration officers if, while waiting for the restrictions to be lifted, applicants are required to undergo repeat medical examinations and criminal background checks, which officers will then have to reassess."
....
“We believe that this situation sends the wrong message to immigrants,” Normandin concludes in her letter. "
