Found the following line on my GCMS, any suggestions what I should do?
Updated date: 2021/03/12
**Application currently on hold due to current pandemic/travel restrictions. Awaiting further guidance/instructions in regards to processing oversees applicants.**
As far as I know, there's no travel restrictions that would forbid parents to travel between China and Canada.
Eligibility is passed, medical is passed/ extended to 2022. Don't know about security/bg check but it's been awhile so should be either in progress or passed.
I don't know what else should I expect/ waiting for?
Oh Gosh you are Apr. 29 applicant?! I thought I have the earliest receive date (May 9) who has not been finalized yet!
There used to be a travel restriction for all kind of visas (including immigrants) earlier but then I think beginning June 2021 all immigrants with COPR documents were exempted from restrictions. See the following from the news:
"On 21 June 2021, immigration minister macro Mendicino has again opened the Canadian border to approve the permanent resident. Before this day, when people have acquired confirmation of permanent residency documents after 18 March, 2020 were not exempted from the imposed travel restrictions."
