Thank you friend. I am wondering too what I should do in case I dont get any communication at all till 26th'. Bcos as of now the news is only on twitter and websites no formal cancellation on email. And the mail says that if you are not there for the interview , it will be considered that you are not interested in pursuing the PR process further. Also I understand that the call centers are closed and they are not responding to the twitter message I sent to IRCC. Anyways there is still a little time and I hope things are clear by then. I'm sure all those guys are also under a lot of pressure. Better to keep a little patient. Will keep you guys posted.
ok so my friend just told me he got email saying landing interview was cancelled. No instruction for phone interview. The guy he knew went to the office, theres only once security guard. Nobodys there....
Only to do is wait for further instructions..as frustrating as that must be. If you had an appointment, they will contact you eventually
@Kodihusky @senhari2005 I got a formal cancellation mail this morning. The mail does not say anything about Telephonic interview. It just says that they will communicate a new date for interview later. For those needed priority processing, they have asked to mail on a certain ID with a justification and they will take it on a case by case basis. So near and yet so far
Hi @Bn2ca can you share your generic information reply?
I asked mine and received this reply
Nothing changes on my application even though the mail said my file has been updated
Calling is not an option right now since there's no customer service due to covid-19
I don't think so and I would not advise either. If there is enough time for your COPR i would suggest to be patient and give a little time for things to settle down. All government staff are already under pressure dealing with this. Mine is valid until Sep so I would wait for at least 2 months maybe before trying any alternate options.

Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
We verified the information you provided and can confirm that your application is still in process.
All the required documents and information have been received by the responsible office for the moment.
While the processing times may vary with each case, we will make all the necessary efforts to finalize your application as soon as possible.
Rest assured that you will be informed as soon as a decision is reached or if additional information is needed.
We hope the information provided is helpful in assisting you with your enquiry.
If yours says it's updated or something it should be good atleast it's moving. But given the situation now hold tight. We can't do anything but wait this out.
Stay safe!
@prashantpraut I got the same email today about cancellation. Feel you bro, hang in there. We are almost there!!@Kodihusky @senhari2005 I got a formal cancellation mail this morning.

Before Covid-19, I'd advise anyone to flagpole.
Remember, to flagpole you have to leave Canada as a foreign national, go to US border to be processed, get turned around with an administrative (voluntary) refusal paper and seek to re-enter Canada as a foreign national. Even with COPR and immigrant visa, you are NOT considered a PR until COPR is filled out, stamped and signed AT a land/airport border. Every time you are at any border entrance, you are at the mercy of the officials there. There are no guarantees even if you were just in the country 5-10 mins ago. Even with COPR/immigrant visa, with foreign passports, I would imagine out land applicants will not be allowed to fly into Canada at the moment.
Foreign nationals are not being let in. They have made that abundantly clear. You risk being sent back to your country of origin. Canada is even turning away refugees and asylum seekers. If you know anything about Canada, you know this is highly unusual. Err on the side of caution! Wait for further instructions from IRCC either via webform or their official communications about landing interviews or if special provisions will be made for inland applicants to flagpole.
News Release...March 20, 2020—Ottawa—
Exemptions to the air travel restrictions will apply to foreign nationals who have already committed to working, studying or making Canada their home, and travel by these individuals will be considered essential travel for land border restrictions. These exceptions include
"permanent resident applicants who had been approved for permanent residence before the travel restrictions were announced on March 16, 2020, but who had not yet travelled to Canada"
In addition to health screening protocols before travel, all individuals entering from abroad must isolate for 14 days upon their arrival in Canada.

Based on this, flagpoling should not be a problem...Or you'll definitely get phone landing interview

These are good news for sure! I hope next week we will have details about how to proceed.
