Its a reply to the ETA webform that I had sent as my counterfoil details got updated with new COPR on jan 7th with an expiry of Feb 27th
the weird part is in the subject they put family reunification, but no where have i ever mentioned family reunification.

Good day,
Your request to be exempted from the current restrictions to travel to Canada has been
approved under the Order in Council,
Minimizing the Risk of Exposure to COVID-19 in Canada Order (Prohibition of Entry into Canada from any country other than the United States).
This letter is not a travel document and does not, on its own, authorize you to travel to Canada without a valid passport, visa or electronic travel authorization (eTA) that you will need to travel to Canada. To board your flight and to enter Canada, you must continue to meet all the usual eligibility and admissibility requirements in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA).
The final decision on admission to Canada is made by border services officers at Canadian ports of entry. In order to be admitted into Canada, and in addition to meeting all the usual entry requirements, foreign nationals must satisfy the examining officer that their entry to Canada is for a non-discretionary rather than a discretionary purpose.
Important: You must
bring evidence that you meet the eligibility requirements to travel at this time. You must bring the evidence you provided in your application and this email from IRCC. If you can’t provide this information, you
won’t be allowed to board your flight or enter Canada.
This decision has been documented in Canada’s Global Case Management System.
This authorization is valid for single use and to a maximum validity of three (3) calendar months. It is only an assessment that your presence in Canada is for the purpose of reuniting with your immediate family members. To board your flight and to enter Canada, you must meet all admissibility and other requirements, as well as other applicable laws and regulations. You will not be allowed to travel to Canada for reasons of an optional or discretionary nature, such as tourism, recreation or entertainment.
You are responsible for your own travel arrangements and this exemption does not grant you access to repatriation flights facilitated by the Government of Canada.
If you are travelling by air, pre-departure COVID-19 testing requirements are now in place. You need to pass a health check conducted by airlines before you are allowed to board your flight. Anyone who shows symptoms of COVID-19 will not be allowed to enter Canada by air.
Before you can fly to Canada, you need to submit the following information via
ArriveCAN:
- contact information
- travel information
- quarantine plan(unless you’re exempt)
- This is a mandatory requirement and shows how you’ll quarantine for 14 days when you arrive in Canada, including how to get to your destination, obtain groceries and access essential medical care. There are serious consequences for not complying with this requirement and if you don’t have a quarantine plan, you should not travel to Canada.
- COVID-19 symptom self-assessment
You can submit this information by doing one of the following:
ArriveCAN is a secure way for travellers to submit mandatory information required to enter Canada. To avoid hassles at the airport, we encourage you to submit your information via ArriveCAN when booking your flight to Canada.
- Travellers transiting through a Canadian airport are exempt from the ArriveCAN requirement.
- When you arrive in Canada, a border services officer will assess your health and your quarantine plan before you’ll be allowed to enter the country.
Stay informed. Read the
latest travel advice from the Government of Canada on the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and keep checking our website for updates related to COVID-19, including when the travel restrictions will be lifted.
Sincerely,
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
