Hi ,I called ircc yesterday to confirm if my parents can travel as their copr was issued on July3rd
This is what the agent emailed me after the phone call:
Good day,
Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. As discussed, you will find below complementary information to our conversation:
Coronavirus - Travel restrictions to Canada
The Government of Canada is closely monitoring the new coronavirus (COVID-19) and its impact on IRCC clients.
Until further notice, most people cannot travel to Canada, even if they have a valid visitor visa or electronic travel authorization (eTA).
You can travel to Canada or be permitted to enter Canada if you are:
In any case, if you’re travelling by air, you need to:
- An eligible immediate family member of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident,
- A foreign national who is coming for an essential (non-discretionary) purpose from the United States (U.S.),
- A foreign national who is coming for an essential (non-discretionary) purpose from a country other than the U.S., and are exempt from the travel restrictions,
- Etc.
Travellers entering Canada by air or by land will need to provide basic information using the traveller contact information form, available through the ArriveCAN mobile app, an accessible web-based form or a paper form.
- Pass a health check conducted by airlines before you’re allowed to board your flight, and
- Wear a non-medical mask or face covering during travel (including to the place you’ll quarantine).
When you arrive in Canada we’ll assess your health before you leave the port of entry. If you’re a foreign national, and you have symptoms of COVID-19, you won’t be allowed to enter Canada.
You must have a plan to quarantine for 14 days when you arrive in Canada. This is mandatory, even if you have no symptoms. If you don’t have a plan, you should not travel to Canada as you may not be allowed to enter the country.
We understand that these measures will affect several IRCC clients. Please be assured that we continue to closely monitor the situation and provide you with the most current information as the situation evolves.
For more information on the situation and to receive up-to-date information, we invite you to consult theHow the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is affecting immigration, refugees, citizenship and passport services page, where you will also find answers to your most common questions about travel restrictions and exemptions.
