    Question about travel restrictions for coming to Canada as a new PR - Need negative covid test in English?

    Also, just saw this on the Government Canada website. Does this mean that if her arrival test comes back negative she can bypass the hotel stay? Naturally the costs of the hotel are left to us and it's our responsibility to see whether a refund is available or we just have to suck it up and know...

    Travel Restrictions - Outland - just got approved and CoPR, when can I come?

    so when my wife travels to Canada, naturally she has to show evidence of her relation to me, a Canadian citizen (or PR etc.). So of she will bring our Chinese marriage booklet and docs. Will she need to have them translated or is it fine to just show that when she's at immigration?

    Travel Restrictions - Outland - just got approved and CoPR, when can I come?

    Of course. The 14 day will be no problem. The hotel quarantine looks like it will cost in the range of $2,000 from what I've read so far. Anyone recently gone through this and can confirm?

    Hey guys and gals. So my wife got her PPR about 2 weeks ago and submitted passport shortly after. ECAS or GCKey hasn't showed any acknowledgment saying they got it yet. Will they?

    Ok great, thanks for the tip! I'm on the website now ready to upload. However it says I can only upload a file that is 2MB or smaller, and all docs must total 3.5MB or smaller. Guess they are behind on the times. All the stuff I have to send is roughly 12MB in total... maybe it's best to send...

    Thanks for the useful answers everyone. Indeed I am a citizen, 3rd generation born and raised. I returned to Canada in August 2019 so not too recent. What are GCMS notes and how do I order them? somewhere on the GCKey page I presume? The deadline they gave me to submit additional info was...
