Canada updated guidelines on returning incomplete applications
On June 9, 2021, the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) provided updated guidelines on when to return incomplete spousal applications.
Updates for Family class applications will help immigration officers to review applications for completeness.
Applicants can be sure their application has been made when an application is received, and date stamped by the Case Processing Centre (CPC).
An application is date stamped the day it is received in the mailroom at the CPC. The fact that the CPC has received, and date stamped an application is proof that an application has been made.

Canada may ease border restrictions for vaccinated travellers
Canada is going to ease border restrictions for fully vaccinated travellers.
Travellers entering Canada will need a negative test and could be subject to a much shorter quarantine period.
However, the currently required 14-day isolation period will probably be loosened.
The plans are in the early stages and no official announcement was made.
Currently, Canada and the US are under pressure to relax restrictions.
Travel restrictions for the world’s longest land border will expire on June 21, as well as Canada’s international travel restrictions.
