Extended Family Member Process

[kvonrosen]

Hello everyone,

As some of you may know, today all couples and loved ones who have been separated from border closure can finally apply to be allowed to enter Canasa under this process.

Now, a lot of confusion has been out there in regards of the form it must be filled out.

In my case, I am the national foreign, from Honduras and I hold a valid visitor visa for up to 10 years already.
My boyfriend is a Canadian citizen, we started dating over a year ago and he visited me on July 2019 and I visited him in Canada on Dec2019-Jan 2020.
He is doesnt have any health issues and lives alone at his home.
With this said our concerns are the following:

1. On the application form we have to sign, where do you recommend to sign? Since the format did not exactly had that specified correctly

2. Is it an electronic sign? Or do I have to print it, sign it, scan it, send it and my bf prints it and takes it to the notary?

3. Since I already have a valid visa, can I still simply email IRCC.COVID-TravelExemptions-Exemptionsdevoyage-COVID.IRCC@cic.gc.ca. to get their authorization? It doesn't really say anything about extended family members, it just says if someone is processing a Visa or if you are immediate family member that you dont need one.

4. Since my boyfriend lives alone, and in fact in an area very far away from people,
Can I quarantine with him?
Does he has to quarantine with me? (Since he has to work and I doubt they will give 14 days off for that)

Thanks in advance for your answers,

Regards

Me (UK citizen) and my Canadian Fiancé completed ours yesterday and i submitted it today.

Electronic signature is fine, it says on it ' i agree by typing my name, i am electronically signing my application'. so just type your name and thats it. I filled in my details, signed it electronically and added the date and emailed it to my fiancé in Canada who had it notarised and stamped. She then scanned it and sent it back to me.

Using the webform (https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx) i added details of why i meet the new exemption rules and some additional details around why im going, where id quarantine etc. then it lets you add the supporting documentation so just upload the notarised form. I selected ETA from the first dropdown on the webform, then Case specific enquiries.

Little bit frustrating they don't send a confirmation email, just an onscreen notice saying successfully submitted, and no timeframe for processing either so jus ta waiting game for the written authorisation from them.

Frustrating as it may be , but at least the Government has implemented measures to bring someone to Canada , versus before when there was none .

Would suggest waiting to see if he gets approved first. You can apply but people are not guaranteed visas. You can only quarantine in the same home if he quarantines with you or you can remain isolated from him where you have your own bathroom like a basement things can be left at the door for you.

Hi, I am a UK citizen( Adult ) and my dad and my siblings( my younger sister ) are Canadians. Who do you think is better to invite me to Canada using the 'authorization and Statutory declaration form( IMM 0006 )? I have the ETA already

I am an American citizen, my boyfriend is a Canadian Permanent Resident. We have been dating for two years and have traveled to see each other many times. When he came to Canada he was in a common law marriage but is not anymore. Does anyone know if that will affect me going over there or his stuff when he applies for citizenship for Canada? How thorough is their research when approving or denying people.

Hello, I am currently facing a similar situation, as this is time sensitive for me and my girlfriend, we have called the IRCC, however the agents couldn’t give us a straight answer, first we were told that the progress time is 2-5 days, then another agent told us that we will receive a response within 14 days. Has anyone received a response yet with regards to the written authorisation with a web form? If, yes how long did it take? Thank you in advance !

 

[paul22381]

base on their website its within 14 days may me and my girlfriend submitted form last oct 13 and no response yet

If you have an ETA valid you need to apply the ought web form, in it there is a text box in which you can explain why you are exempted.
