Looking at how the rules are relaxing in September to allow double-vaccinated tourists from overseas to enter without no mandatory quarantine -- see https://www.cicnews.com/2021/07/can...-border-measures-today-0718648.html#gs.6y5cf1 -- does anyone know (or think!) that soft landing will become possible/tolerated at that point in time, please?
Is soft-landing from the UK possible again yet?

Thanks - we're coming from Europe, so the US road angle won't apply to us.
I guess that leaves us with the choice between:
1) hard landing before our CoPRs expire - hard when we expected to have a longer period to 'shut up shop'
2) asking for an exemption letter to be allowed to land and return home to sort out our affairs
Does anyone have an idea of whether 2) is at all possible these days?

It has been discouraged since Covid came along but people have still been doing it. They have come, done their landing, then after their quarantine finished left the country. You would still have to meet all the requirements of using the ArriveCan app, have a quarantine plan in case it is necessary etc., I don't know any of the details of what they have done apart from that. I doubt an exemption letter would be possible.
Thanks for the reply! Do you know first-hand of people who have done it? Given the scale of our move, am being cautious/looking for all the validation I can find. 
TBH, I still don't quite get how, if people land, then return to their original country, get their PR cards mailed to them in their original country, then fly back in to Canada with the PR cards, that the border guards don't take issue with that.

No I don't, it was mentioned on the forum here by a couple of people who did it. You will have to do some searching to find them. Doing a soft handing was never expressly prohibited during covid.
