Can a fully vaccinated (Sinopharm) parent enter Canada to visit her daughter? The daughter is on a Work Permit?
Thanks

Canada doesn’t consider sinophatm as being vaccinated and they’d need to do 14 days of quarantine. It says you still need authorization and you will likely be approved but it is not guaranteed.
Can i book ticket from india to toronto via uk for my mother in law as she is fully vaccinated of approved vaccine?
Would suggest looking at the thread about travel from India in the international student section. Don’t believe the route via the UK is possible but maybe that has changed.

No authorization required.
Seems unclear to me if they are guaranteed entry and no authorization required. For parents of those who are temporary residents you get this message.

Find out if you can travel to Canada - Foreign national - Non-U.S. - Family - Temporary resident
You indicated that you are:
  • a foreign national
  • not coming from the United States
  • reuniting with a temporary resident
  • the immediate family member of a temporary resident
To be able to enter Canada, you will need to prove you are an immediate family member and have written authorization before you travel to Canada.
You will likely be allowed to enter Canada if you meet these requirements; however, the final determination will be made by a government official at the port of entry.
What you need to do next
  • demonstrate that your reason for travel is not optional, such as to establish yourself in Canada and live with your immediate family member while they are in Canada
  • bring documents to prove your family member's status and your family relationship with them
  • bring written authorization from an Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) officer
  • you must meet testing and quarantine requirements. Use the checklist for your method of entry:

The exemption is for anyone entering Canada who is vaccinated with the approved vaccines in Canada not just PRs and citizens.
so incase of someone with a different vaccine than approved on a visitor visa they will returned back or subject to quarantine?
