Hi everyone, just an update, my mom's visa got approved today. I applied on Feb. 24th.

Read this link, as shown here, all details about the quarantine plan is for after their visa approved and they are traveling to Canada: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/visitors/visa.html

Hi, did you end up sending the email before applying? I also applied for my mother, she visited me in 2019, and her visa recently expired.

Those with compassionate reasons have a different process I belive (https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/2019-novel-coronavirus-infection/latest-travel-health-advice/compassionate-entry-limited-release-from-quarantine.html) I am also not sure about the quarantine plan and...

Are you sure about this? I've heard that they process visas, but it may take longer than usual. Also as mentioned on the link I sent, you should write the reason for travel "COVID-19" to show that your parents are exempted from travel restrictions. That is what I understand by reading posts...

Thanks a lot for the help! Fortunately, she did the biometrics in the last 10 years (for her previous visitor visa).

Thanks a lot. So maybe just in the letter of explanation, I can mention that she will follow the quarantine rule, she will stay at my apartment, and since I'm working from home, I can quarantine myself too. Would that be enough?

Hi everyone, I am preparing my mother's application. I have PR, so I think I should mention COVID-19 as the purpose of travel in form 5257e, right? Should that be mentioned anywhere else too? Also, should I mention anything related to COVID in her letter of explanation or my invitation letter...
