Yes i did get a letter. But it's useless since I called CBSA and told them about the letter. Turns out even if I have the letter from IRCC but I don't have a job waiting for me in Canada I won't be able to go in.

Hi, the only way to know is to call CBSA. I think they will allow those with valid work, but the question here is do they also check what kind of work if it's essential? I am also confused about this. Because they have mentioned that supply chain, medical and agrictulture are considered...

Mayor of BC announced about family reunification today and hopefully rules will change. Frankly I don't mind being on quarantine for 14 days or more just staying at home. Police officers call and verify that after landing one goes straight home and quarantine for 14 days or there will be a...

The letter came from IRCC. I asked the embassy and they directed me to IRCC. I still can't come because I confirmed from CBSA border about this. Apparently even if have a letter they are the ones deciding whether it's essential or not. Me not having any job offer for them is not essential...

FYI UPON CHECKING THE WEBSITE THEY REMOVED THESE EXAMPLES SILENTLY. I can no longer find the details...

The letter came from IRCC. I am on an open work permit, and my spouse is on a closed work permit. They said that those on trv who will work and study are exempted from the travel ban, but I requested for a letter since I was already denied boarding last April. They said travel is non-essential...

FYI, I got a letter from IRCC stating that I am authorized to travel due to family reunification even if I am on open work permit. However when I called CBSA they don't think my trip is essential since I don't have a job waiting for me in Canada, so the family reunification letter became useless...

it has to be current active employment because CBSA is so strict that in other cases they call the employer to find out if the job is still active.

maybe they can give you one if you are able to request from the agency or from the employer.

why can't the employer send you an employment contract instead or certificate of employment?

hi you have to contact CBSA hotline and state your case that you have a current job in Canada and you have letters to prove it then maybe your case will be better compared to mine.

if you have active employment in Canada then you can request from your employment agency as proof.

hi that's also my concern/question... apparently if we have no work as open work permit I don't think CBSA will find it essential but verifying this

Hi how do you secure a cbsa letter? Also how do you prove that travel is essential?

You will have to call CBSA about it because they will deny or approve on a case by case basis. Explain your case to them. When my husband called CBSA they said even with a letter I need a confirmed job.

Hi are you able to enter even without a work offer? CBSA doesn't want to let any foreign workers enter without any job offer. I am on open work permit as well and will be my 1st time to land so will still get the permit.

Causes a lot of stress numerous rebookings and airline refunds. I am in a position where everything is so unsure whether to risk going there with a letter or not.

I actually did. But there's no guarantee that I can enter even with a letter so I had to ask since I was already denied boarding once when I ddnt had any letter.

For all those on open work permit dependent on your spouse, or if you are on student visa, were you denied boarding the plane or entering Canada even if you have a letter of authorization from IRCC that you are exempt from the travel ban? This also includes those traveling to Canada on family...
