Congratulations. As per the official webpage , people who have been approved to become a permanent resident of Canada, but who are not yet permanent residents are exempt from the travel restrictions.
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/travel-restrictions-exemptions.html#exempt
No, it isn't. If you navigate 2 more steps you will see that they only allow approved PR applicants who: 1/ were approved before or by March 18th. 2/ having relatives living in Canada. 3/ currently living in the U.S. and will be coming to Canada directly (transiting through the U.S. to Canada doesn’t apply).

Seeing as how they are rolling out PPRs again, It's only logical to think IRCC has also made plans to enable these new immigirants to travel.
Hopefully in the November update they will address this issue.

Wrong information. IRCC says "some people who have been approved to become a permanent resident of Canada, but who are not yet permanent residents" on that link.

In addition, check this link https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/immigration-applicants.html

"You are exempt from the current travel restrictions and can come to Canada if you have a valid COPR, and
  • the COPR was issued on or before March 18, 2020, or
  • the COPR was issued after March 18, 2020 and you are an immediate family member sponsored by a Canadian citizen or permanent resident (note that grandparents are not considered immediate family members and cannot come to Canada at this time), or
  • you’re currently living in the U.S. and will be coming to Canada directly (transiting through the U.S. to Canada doesn’t apply)"
We're supposed to share the truth here, not what most people would like to hear.

Some people have received COPRs that expire before the end of the year, I can't see the reason for issuing these if restrictions weren't going to be changed.
I think there will be a change soon to allow all COPR holders to travel.

Pls do I still go ahead and submit the passports or wait till she delivers and raise a webform immediately to inform IRCC or we should raise the webform now and inform them.
Pls experts in the house kindly advice or if you have been in such situation pls what did u do.

Congratulations once again, if you're going to get your passports back from Accra and fit to fly in less than 2 weeks, I would say go for it, if not...wait till she gives birth and raise a web form for your new born. Good luck.
