Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) may allow COPR and PR visa holders or those with expired ones to travel to Canada.
According to IRCC’s new guidelines, there are few sets of rules for those who wanted to travel to Canada holding COPR and PRV.
Those with valid COPR and PRV
Traveling from any country other than the US (group 1)
If the COPR and PRV were issued on or before March 18, 2020, and are still valid, the applicant
- is exempt from the travel restrictions
- can travel to Canada for non-discretionary reasons with the COPR and PRV to settle and live in Canada as a permanent resident and
- must have an acceptable plan to quarantine for 14 days in Canada
Applicants must check the issue date in the Application Details section of their COPR to see if this applies to them.
Traveling from the US (group 2)
Applicants can travel to Canada from the US for non-discretionary reasons to settle and live in Canada as a permanent resident if
- their application was approved
- they received their COPR and PRV and both are still valid and
- they have an acceptable plan to quarantine for 14 days in Canada
Expired COPR and PRV
Traveling from any country other than the US (group 3)
