Hi,
I found the below paragraph on the Canadian website:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/service-delivery/coronavirus/travel-restrictions.html#purpose the page was updated 4 days ago.
In reference to the highlighted sentences, people can now travel to Canada for landing purposes, am i correct?
Travel for an optional or discretionary purpose
The exemptions under the Orders
do not apply to foreign nationals travelling for optional or discretionary purposes. The
onus is on the foreign national to demonstrate the purpose of their travel.
Travel for optional or discretionary purposes is broadly defined in the Orders as including (but not limited to) travel for the purposes of tourism, recreation and entertainment.
Travel for the following purposes
would not be considered optional or discretionary:
- delivering economic services, maintaining the supply chain, supporting critical infrastructure, providing immediate medical care, or ensuring safety and security
- transiting through Canada for non-discretionary purposes
- engaging in cross-border employment or shopping for essential goods such as medication or basic needs, particularly in border and Indigenous communities
- non-discretionary family reunification
- entering Canada to work, study or land as a permanent resident, with appropriate documentation
