Hi PrimaPrime
Thanks for the link. Following this link I landed on this page;
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/foreign-workers.html#approved
in which I concluded that my wife is suppoosed to be allowed to enter according to the following criteria, and I quote "
If you’ve been approved for a work permit
When you travel, show the following documents to show that you’re exempt from the travel restrictions:
- passport or travel document, and
- proof that you’re allowed to work in Canada, specifically
- a valid work permit or
- a port of entry letter of introduction that shows that you were approved for a work permit
" end of quote.
Do you agree with my conclusion?
Thanks in advance.
She does not have a job offer as of now. What is, and how to get, the "special authorization"?
Thanks in advance for your concern and feedback.
Send your request to this email address: IRCC.COVID-TravelExemptions-Exemptionsdevoyage-COVID.IRCC@cic.gc.ca
Make sure you include
- your full name
- your date of birth
- if you have an application in process
- how you applied for your visa (online or by paper)
- your application number and unique client identifier (UCI)
- your passport number
- a detailed reason for travel
- the dates you plan to travel
- where you live now (current country of residence)
Thank you!
I followed your advise and I got a DO NOT REPLY message back which indicated the following;
"
| Who is exempt from the travel restrictions and can enter Canada without written authorization? | · Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident · Temporary foreign worker who has a valid work permit or was approved a work permit and is coming for essential purpose · Student who has a valid study permit or was approved for a study permit on or before March 18, 2020 · Foreign national who is coming for an essential (non-discretionary) purpose from the United States · Immediate family member of a Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident, in Canada or abroad · Other exemptions |
It seems like my wife does not need a written authorization according to this, right?
She meets the criteria in bold font above which is a "Temporary foreign worker with approved work permit".
You are the one with the WP and her work permit was essentially received based on your status. She follows under the approved work permit but who must prove that she is coming to Canda for an essential purpose.
