Email from IRCC: Important Travel Advice for International Students
(After march 18 2020)
Please I want to know what this means....
The Government of Canada is working closely with partners in Canada and around the world, including the World Health Organization (WHO), to respond to the current outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
As part of that response, restrictions are in place for all travel to Canada, with some exemptions for essential travel for certain travelers. Some international students are exempt from the travel restrictions and are authorized to travel to Canada. This includes students who:
had a study permit on March 18, 2020 (when the travel restrictions took effect) that is still valid
had been approved for a study permit on or before March 18, 2020 and issued a letter of introduction from IRCC
If you do not fall under one of the above scenarios, you are not exempt from the travel restrictions. You should not make any plans to travel to Canada until the travel restrictions are lifted, as you will not be allowed to travel to or enter the country. We recommend you contact your Designated Learning Institution for more information on your start date as a result of these restrictions.
For the most up to date information, please ensure you regularly check the IRCC website for updates on COVID-19 and when the travel restrictions will be lifted.
