I did Biometrics in March and shows Biometric number but MYCIC account application status, it says we have not received your Biometrics. I am bit confused, when it shows Biometric number on MYCIC account. Anyone with similar experience ?
not yetMy parents are in same boat from Punjab, India and their visa is expiring in September.Did your parents landed ?
thanks a lot , I didnt knew that OHIP coverage will start as soon as they land.1-Everyone in Canada (including visitors) is covered for Covid. So from the day they land, they will be covered.
2- Three months waiting period for OHIP has been waived off. The day you submit application at Service Ontario, OHIP coverage will start. When they land here, they will already have their passports and COPRs. They will need a third document as address proof. The easiest is mailed bank statement which takes approximately one month. So yes, you will need insurance coverage for approximately 45 days. Compare quotes with Destination Canada also.
Landed immigrants do not get OHIP right awayOf course it would be covered as any acute issue. but insurance company knows that as for now COVID related illness and any required tests are covered by OHIP
I have the same issue.I did Biometrics in March and shows Biometric number but MYCIC account application status, it says we have not received your Biometrics. I am bit confused, when it shows Biometric number on MYCIC account. Anyone with similar experience ?
Ok let me type in everything i know and did in relation to their travel. They recently arrived on their Visit Visa from the US.Hello everyone,
My parents are planning to travel in few weeks to Toronto Pearson airport with their COPRs. Can anyone tell me if they need to install any app on their phones before they land at the Pearson airport OR fill out any forms in particular? If anyone can share their recent landing experience, it ll be great.
I have heard about having a credible "Quarantine Plan" for 14 days on IRCC website and their twitter handle. Is this something we need to write on a paper and present it to the immigration officer?
Thanks.
I know this is ideal. But is it really a requirement that the entire household has to be quarantined together for 14 days?Ok let me type in everything i know and did in relation to their travel. They recently arrived on their Visit Visa from the US.
1) Documents to prove that they are my parents. Birth Certificate or any other relevant document should do
2) Documents to prove my Citizenship/PR. Passport or PR card should do
3) Have my dad install ArriveCAN app on his phone and enter the travel/quarantine questionnaire 3 days prior to the travel. They were suppose to receive a token at the airport when they land in Canada. The token is required to submit the information. I believe if you don't do this, they make you fill an isolation/quarantine questionnaire at the airport itself. Since my dad and mom aren't too technical enough to be able to connect to airport wifi , I made them have a print out ready (with big fonts) saying "Quarantine related information has been entered in the ArriveCan app. Please provide technical assistance with connecting the phone to airport wifi, entering the token and submitting the information. For any further questions related to quarantine, feel free to call <myself> (son) at 647xxxxxx"
Now according to my dad, nobody gave them the token or anything, neither did they ask them to fill the quarantine form. Maybe they just got lucky or I am not sure how can this requirement be inconsistent as its clearly mentioned both on Pearson and CIC website. But I would still suggest to do you part the best you can.
4) Quarantine requirements/information:
a) The travelers must head straight home from the airport without stopping anywhere on the way and must have their masks on all the way through their travel until they reach home in Canada.
b) The travelers and everyone who lives at the address where the travelers would be residing must quarantine for 14 days and not step out of the house neither can anyone come to your house.
c) The travelers should have their independent room in the house with ensuite/attach washroom
d) Must have all the necessary medication for at least 14 days
e) Must be monitored frequently for any symptoms.
f) If the travelers are not wearing a mask inside the house, they must maintain 6 feet distance with everyone else in the house
g) House windows must be kept open for 14 days
h) Any call from 855 is usually from government to check or update on the quarantine status so make sure not to miss those calls.
Now I understand some of these requirements are very strict but I know in some cases their have been raids at the house to check upon whether the quarantine is being followed or not. Try the best you can to follow these and leave the rest to luckThankfully we didn't face a raid however I did receive a call from 855 and they wanted to speak with my dad but he was sleeping so they said they will call later but thankfully they never called after.

Does this "Quarantine Plan" need to be written on a paper? My parents dont speak much English and wont be able to use ArriveCAN app as well.Ok let me type in everything i know and did in relation to their travel. They recently arrived on their Visit Visa from the US.

This is exactly my situation. My owners live upstairs ( I have separate entrance to basement, completely isolated from people living upstairs) and I rent a basement. I and my parents will definitely quarantine and I will provide them with separate room but my owners living upstairs, they wont quarantine.I know this is ideal. But is it really a requirement that the entire household has to be quarantined together for 14 days?
What if the parents stay in the basement and do not come upstairs? Physical distancing. Is that acceptable?
My house has a walkout basement. My plan is to have my parents live in the basement for 14 days. But we live upstairs on the main and upper floors.This is exactly my situation.

I and my parents will definitely quarantine and I will provide them with separate room but my owners living upstairs, they wont quarantine.
Congrats!!! It is so good to hear and provides hope to all of us waiting, enjoy the time with your parents and please continue to wish us good luck!!@robertp @YULIA-2016 Help to update Line#129 (Jaindba) : My parents landed successfully on 13 July 2020, immigration was done at Vancouver and final destination was Calgary. Also help to update column , I was never asked for any additional documents except additional medical tests for my mother due to her Heart Condition.
it would work like that if....you don't pick them up at the airport, don't sit with them in the same car, no hugs...I know this is ideal. But is it really a requirement that the entire household has to be quarantined together for 14 days?

is it possible?it would work like that if....you don't pick them up at the airport, don't sit with them in the same car, no hugs...Don't think it is possible.
