The whole point is to minimize the spread of covid. Less people that enter, the less covid gets brought into Canada. You are likely to save money if you remain at home.
Thank you for your reply and advice.
I totally understand that the aim is to reduce the risk of Covid exposure within the country, and that's honestly the fair and just thing to do as well. The Canadian government will and should primarily look after people there, and all else comes later.
But as an international student, clear wording along the lines of " students with online classes will not be allowed entry", will give much needed reassurance.
Otherwise, we're having to strongly assume that we won't be allowed entry based on the various indications we get from the IRCC website. Gives rise to ambiguity as to whether there may be a chance to travel/enter.
I hope later on, they don't penalise people for not travelling for fall 2020. Since deadlines to decide flight booking, housing, etc., are fast approaching, I thought if there could be some decisive notice saying we cannot enter.
I completely understand the current situation and will gladly start the program from home. I certainly don't expect them to just freely allow entry to students from outside.
But this lack of IRCC advice on the online classes-essential travel issue is just a little disturbing. That's all. But I guess it's better to start preparing to study af home for the fall...
Once again, thanks a lot for your reply.
