Travel to Canada with valid COPR
Post by : Admin on Jun 25,2021
Canada has opened its borders to its approved permanent residents after 15 months. They can now officially immigrate to Canada when they arrive at the border. Granted, they will be subject to the same public health measures that affect all incoming travellers.
Immigration Minister, Marco Mendicino, opened up Canada's border to approved permanent residents on June 21, 2021. These individuals who had received their Confirmation of Permanent Residency (COPR) document after March 18, 2020, were not exempt from travel restrictions. Canadian officials said there are about 23,000 COPR holders outside Canada. Those whose documents are still valid are now exempt from travel restrictions. What's more fully vaccinated travellers can skip mandatory quarantine.
Fully vaccinated COPRs can skip quarantine
All exempt travellers to Canada are subject to the new measures for people who are fully vaccinated starting July 5, 2021, at 11:59 pm EDT. These travellers will just have to quarantine at home while they wait for their COVID-19 test results at the border.
IRCC recommends that all family members included in the permanent residency application should travel to Canada at the same time, if possible.
