Traveling/Flights to Canada from India during COVID 19

[gokul0989]

Did you have Authorization Letter? How did you travel with all these restrictions? Please elaborate.

Hi Yes, I did get an Authorization Letter after getting a PRTD. There were no restrictions for PR holders except you should not have any symptoms of covid before boarding. I had to book non-stop flight because they rejected my Authorization Letter when I booked a ticket with a transit through another country. So, I booked Air Canada from DEL to YVR.

Prior to boarding we had to fill out an arrival form. On arrival the border services officer asked about my status if I was a PR. Confirmed if I had a quarantine place booked. Told me not to go out anywhere for the 14 days.

Transit through another country is tricky at this time so it's better if you book a direct flight with Air Canada or Air India.

I do not know of the forms/declarations, but a negative Covid test requirement was just made official recently. Link: https://www.canada.ca/en/transport-canada/news/2020/12/pre-departure-covid-19-testing-and-negative-results-to-be-required-for-all-air-travellers-coming-to-canada.html

No forms for Air Canada. Only Air India were asking for some declaration forms to be submitted. This was in October 2020, but I am not sure about any recent changes.

They will test him. It may be unpleasant but not painful. It is often just a swab just after the entrance of the nose for children.

I have heard that Air India really grills holders of visitor visa ( parents ) before their boarding at Delhi? Just telling that they have exemption as immediate family is not enough. Can someone please share any such experience?
