These partial border closures are not complete. Post, goods, food, trucks etc mostly being allowed although varies by country. Mostly they want passenger travel to be lower (and even that not complete, just lower levels of mass travel, ie tourism).

Personally I wouldn't pay any or much attention to such statements at this point - yes, the situation changing too quickly to know.

Speculation now: yes, there will certainly be slowdowns. But the thing I am guessing people are missing is that the slowdowns won't be evenly distributed - some things will slow down or stop as people work from home (and some things can't be done from home, physical access to files needed, etc). For offices like Warsaw, some people won't be able to fly in - but some people also won't be able to fly out and will stay in place.

BUT: i am guessing that demand for tourist visas for example will almost completely drop off a cliff in a lot of Europe (although a lot is done online, not all). Some staff / capacity will be reallocated - not right away but some are probably already shared - so some things might (surprisingly) be faster. Some stuff will just come to a halt.

And these "90 days instead of 30" statements? They're just a guess and giving room and warning people like you that some delays may happen. I doubt they have any idea at all how much longer procedures will take. It's good that they're warning people that we should expect delays but at this point, no more than a guess.

so maybe we receive PPR in march coz we have 90d
We won’t refuse your application if you cannot complete the next step due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). This applies to applications for

  • a visitor visa
  • a work permit
  • a study permit
  • permanent residence
Examples of the next steps include

  • submitting your passport or supporting documents, such as a police certificate
  • completing an immigration medical examination
No application in progress will be closed or refused due to a lack of documentation. We’ll automatically give you 90 days to complete these steps. Once you’re able to, complete the steps as soon as possible to avoid delays.

Have you recieved the PPR? I understood the press release to say that if they give you a deadline and you can't meet it, they won't cancel or close your file. If you can submit, they will process (possibly some delays too).

Ouch. It doesn't apply to PRs. I am guessing this will not apply to valid COPR holders but only a guess. We will have to wait and see.

Yes, I don’t know details but I remember when Canada evacuated people from China, Canadian government helped only Canadian passport holders. I just thought it might be the same this time.

News says immediate family members of citizens also exempted. But again, all this to be confirmed yet, just news headlines.

If your permanent residence application has been approved, but you can't travel to Canada before your documents expire, use the web form to tell us why you can’t travel.

Once it’s possible for you to travel, use the web form to let us know. We’ll then give you more detailed instructions regarding restarting the processing of your permanent residence application.
