There remains a strong likelihood that CIPO will further extend deadlines beyond this date, because the CIPO announcement includes the warning: “It should still be noted that if the circumstances that led to the designation of these days continue, the Commissioner, Registrar and Minister may decide to extend the period of time for which days are designated.”
We will continue to monitor the situation and advise you accordingly.
