what if IM-1 expired during covid-time

[Sahy]

Hello,

I already got the IM-1 visa, valid until August 1st, 2021. my worry is that due to covid-19, our country's border is still closed (no entry, no exit) until ......(we don't really know when). In the other side, I already bought the ticket but the airlines is not yet able to confirm if the flight will operate or not (depending on Government decision till the chosen date).
What should I do? should I notify the IRCC about that and give them a copy of my ticket to prove that I'm still already to move but unfortunatly there border is closed.... (in aim to ask for another IM-1 visa)...or how.
thank you for your answer:

Until you August nothing will be done. If you still can't travel by August then you should contact IRCC. What country is not allowing entry or exit?

I hope IRCC will not ask me to start a new process, which can take another 3 years :'(

No but you will probably have to repeat your medical.
