Hello everyone!
The first time I came to Canada with my family was in October 2020. I am on a closed WP, my wife has OWP, and my son (8yo) has SP. In November 2020, my wife and son left Canada because of family issues in our home country. So, now they are ready to come back to Canada, and I am confused if they need a written authorization letter? They have visas in passports as well as already issued permits, but my wife is unvaccinated. Here is the relevant article below...
Please advise!

Who doesn’t need a written authorization
Your immediate family member doesn’t need an authorization if they:
- are travelling directly from the U.S.
- are exempt from the travel restrictions, for example they
- are an international student who meets the requirements to travel or
- have a letter of introduction for a spousal/common-law partner open work permit and plan to live with you for the most of the time your work permit is valid
- These family members are exempt from the requirement to have a job offer.
