Hi Guys looking for the recommendation for the apartment for self isolation ( 14 days upon arrival), I am requested to submit the self isolation plan to IRCC, we are family of 4 ( 2 Adults, 2 Kids 5yrs), Location preference Surrey, Langley, Richmond, New westminister, Burnaby.
*URGENT* - Looking for Accommodation for Self Isolation - Vancouver area
- Thread starter itzrb
- Start date
It will be off-topic but with one closed work permit and one job offer does your family able to travel with you(open work permit spouse and dependent child with trv)? Or do you have to travel first and request a family reunification while there from ircc e-mail?
My case is same, and lawyer advised to travel all togther, if principal applicant has a job offer it shudnt be a problem, however before traveling its better to get the travel authorization from IRCC.
Did u get ur work permit ?
Written authorization may be issued to facilitate family unity at the onset and allow for the whole family to travel together and establish residence in Canada. There is no requirement for the head of family (ex. a worker or student) to come to Canada first and the rest of the family travel at a later date with authorization letters to reunite in Canada.

This is the article for a quite a while. But I do have some further query maybe you can help to understand.
In order for a foreign national to be eligible under this exemption, there must be 2 or more foreign nationals who are immediate family members of each other, and authorizing one or more of them to enter Canada must allow them to be reunited.
While the foreign national’s immediate family member must be a resident in Canada, that family member does not have to be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.
This means that a foreign national with an immediate family member temporarily residing in Canada as a worker, visitor, student or protected person, would be exempt under this provision if provided with written authorization.
An adult child of a person residing in Canada may be eligible under this exemption. This is because, while the child is not an immediate family member of the parent under the definition above, the parent is an immediate family member of the child.
Written authorization may be issued to facilitate family unity at the onset and allow for the whole family to travel together and establish residence in Canada. There is no requirement for the head of family (ex. a worker or student) to come to Canada first and the rest of the family travel at a later date with authorization letters to reunite in Canada.
Accompanying family members may be issued written authorization under this family reunification provision if they are not otherwise exempt under another exemption. However, their travel must still be non-optional and non-discretionary. Generally those accompanying family members seeking to establish themselves in Canada will be considered to be travelling for a non-discretionary purpose.
The highlighted part is quite tricky to understand. If a first-time temporary foreign workers is to enter Canada together with his family does IRCC or Border officers immediately consider him a resident of Canada that makes him valid?
I have not got my work permit yet. I applied on 15 July and gave biometrics on 22 july. Waiting final decision
First of all you need to check whether you're exempt worker or not.
This page will help you: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/foreign-workers.html
(All this pages are updated regularly. You can check last modified date at the end of the page.)
If you find yourself exempt then you have to apply for Authorization letter for your immediate family members under family reunification. As per my limited knowledge no other option is available for you.
