Canada – US border may be re-opened in June

The Mayor of Windsor Drew Dilkens stated that they are expecting to ease travel restrictions on the southern border by the end of June, although the Government did not provide an official date. In May, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told that at least 75 percent of Canadians would have to be vaccinated, and coronavirus cases would have to remain low to lift restrictions. Prime Minister’s Members of Parliament are also urging him to re-open the Canada-US border if enough Canadians to be vaccinated by June 21. #Travel_restrictions, #USA, #COVID_19

Canada succeeded to decrease the amount of COVID infected international flights

According to Health Canada, the number of international flights carrying COVID-19 infected passengers dropped 61% in May compared to April. In May, only 113 flights landing at Canadian airports carried passengers infected with COVID-19 while in April, this number was 288, 66 of which were direct flights from India’s capital of Delhi. This proves the efficiency of Transport Canada’s decision to ban passenger flights from India and Pakistan on April 22. In addition, restrictions on travellers arriving from these two countries via connecting flights also helped to drop the number of COVID-19 infected international flights. #COVID_19, #travel_restrictions, #India, #Pakistan

Immigration Medical Examination requirements were updated for Express Entry

Due to COVID-19, the Government of Canada made some changes to the way how applicants can meet an Immigration Medical Examination (IME) requirement for Express Entry application submission. IME is required as a part of the application for permanent residence. Since applicants who are currently in Canada, may not be able to secure an appointment for an IME within a short timeframe, proof of an appointment booked will be accepted in some circumstances. Applicants are advised to visit Medical exams for Express Entry for full details before the arrangement of IME. If IME is already completed, applicants have to proceed with their application submission as usual. #IME, #Medical_Exams, #IRCC, #Express_Entry, #PR
