Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has just announced that Canada – US borders will remain shut to non-essential travel for another 30 days.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made the announcement during his daily corona-virus briefing on Tuesday, June 16.
“I can now confirm that Canada and the United States have now agreed to extend, by 30 days, until July 21, the current measures in place along our border. This is an important decision that will keep people in both of our countries safe,” he said.
As has been the case since March 21, when the travel restrictions initially took effect, non-essential travel will remain prohibited.
The purpose of the restrictions is to help both countries contain the spread of COVID-19. Travelling for essential reasons have been allowed to cross the border since March.
Country defines essential travel as that which is non-discretionary and non-optional.
The people entering Canada are as:
- Canadian citizens
- Permanent residents
- Temporary foreign workers
- International students who held a valid study permit prior to March 16
- Approved permanent residents who received their approval prior to March 18
Immediate family are also able to enter Canada from the U.S.
Special immigration measures – Canada
Canada has had special immigration, visa, and travel measures in place since the middle of March in response to the corona-virus pandemic.
In addition to allowing exempt foreign nationals such as work and study visa holders into the country, Canada continues to process immigration applications and hold Express Entry and Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draws. It will announce by June 30 whether it will change its current COVID-19 travel rules.
