Hello,
Based on recent changes, my parents have become eligible to visit as essential extended family members. They have taken two shots of the Sinovac vaccine which is not recognized in the Canada vaccine list.
Below is the process i was able to find on canadavisa link. Please look below and confirm if i have it right.
" There are six steps to apply for travel exemption as an extended family member.
Step 1: Your family member who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident must complete an application for authorization and statutory declaration.
Step 2: Your family member in Canada sends you the application for authorization and statutory declaration he or she has completed. You sign it and send it back to your family member in Canada.
Step 3: Once you have returned the form to your family member in Canada, he or she must sign it by solemn declaration in front of an authorized official, such as a commissioner for oaths, a justice of the peace, a lawyer or a notary public.
Step 4: Your family member in Canada must send you a copy of the completed and signed application for authorization and statutory declaration.
Step 5: Once you have a copy of the completed and signed application for authorization and statutory declaration, use it as proof of your relationship to your family member and request written authorization from IRCC.
You need written authorization from IRCC regardless of where you are leaving from.
( How will they do get the written authorization and how long does it take ) ? They have valid travel visas expiring in 2028 ( not super visas )
How you request written authorization depends on whether you already have a valid travel document, such as a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) or an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA).
You should not book a flight to Canada until you have written authorization from IRCC.
Step 6: You must have a copy of the application for authorization and statutory declaration as well as the written authorization with you when travelling. Otherwise, you will not be allowed to board your flight or enter Canada.
After you sign the application by solemn declaration, you will have six months to travel to Canada. If you do not travel within six months, you will need a new statutory declaration. "
Just want to confirm that they can skip mandatory 3 day hotel quarantine?
I have a master room upstairs with an ensuite washoom that they will be staying in for 2 weeks quarantine.
Many thanks in advance!
