ArriveCAN

[Dreamer_2019]

Hello everyone,
Could you please advise on which answer should we choose for the question: "What is the purpose of your travel?" in ArriveCAN if my spouse received her COPR and coming as a new immigrant.

Returning to Canada
Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or a person registered under the Indian Act returning to Canada. This group of people can always enter Canada if they meet the requirements.

Family reunification
A foreign national who intends to enter Canada to be with an immediate family member (as defined in the Emergency Orders made under the Quarantine Act) who is a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident, and can demonstrate the intent to stay for a period of at least 15 days.

Foreign worker
A foreign national who seeks to enter Canada to work and who either holds a valid work permit, has received approval of their application for a work permit, or who is exempt from the requirement to obtain a work permit.

Study (international student)
A foreign national who holds a study permit, whose application for a study permit was approved, or who is entitled to apply for a study permit at the port of entry, and who seeks to enter Canada to study at a designated learning institution listed on the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada website.

Study (US-Canada cross-border student)
Students, from kindergarten to post-secondary, who cross the Canada-US border regularly or daily to attend school.

Compassionate grounds

Persons who have a valid letter issued by the Minister of Health or her delegate allowing them to enter Canada for compassionate reasons, in accordance with Emergency Orders made under the Quarantine Act.

None of the above

If it's a spousal application, family reunification.

Following up on this, what do I choose if my mother is coming on a COPR. Should it be family reunification?

Have you looked at the requirements and arrivecan now/recently? Is this the updated list? It looks outdated to me, the requirements last year were different. (And I have used arrivecan recently, but don't recall the exact options)

She can put family reunification but basically no longer relevant. But sure, if that's an option, she can still put it.

This is what it asks for now

What best describes you or your primary reason for entering Canada? (required)

If you are including other people in your submission, all travellers must have the same reason for entering Canada. If you are a Canadian citizen or have right of entry and you're travelling for exempt essential reasons, select "Work/employment or essential reasons".

Canadian citizens and others with a right of entry

These people can always enter Canada: Canadian citizens, permanent residents, or a person registered under the Indian Act.

Work/employment or essential reasons
Discretionary/optional travel

Foreign nationals who intend to enter Canada for visits, weddings, leisure, tourism, recreation, fishing, or other optional reasons.

Study (international student)

A foreign national who holds a study permit to study in Canada, whose study permit was approved or who is entitled to apply for a study permit at the port of entry.

Compassionate entry

Foreign nationals who have approval to enter Canada to provide support to a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, temporary resident, protected person, or person registered under the Indian Act who is deemed to be critically ill or requiring support by a health care practitioner, or to attend a funeral or end-of-life ceremony.

Family reunification

Okay. Well, decide. I'd go with family reunification.
