Important information about your approved temporary resident visa or super visa and Canada’s travel restrictions due to COVID-19

Dear temporary resident (visitor) visa or super visa holder,

While the Government of Canada is gradually easing border measures provided that Canada's COVID-19 epidemiology remains favourable, this is a reminder that restrictions limiting travel to Canada are still in place. Even if you have a valid temporary resident (visitor) visa or super visa, you may not be able to travel to Canada at this time. If you are granted entry to Canada and subsequently leave and wish to return, you will need to ensure you remain exempt from the travel restrictions and are eligible to re-enter Canada.

If you are permitted to travel to Canada, there are some pre-entry testing, arrival testing and quarantine requirements that require your action before making your travel plans.

Note that you must provide your mandatory travel information electronically via ArriveCAN within 72 hours before arrival to Canada and show the receipt of submission to a Canadian border services officer before you'll be allowed to enter. Please make sure you are using the latest, updated version of ArriveCan.

Requirements are changing quickly. Remember to update and check ArriveCAN for details on the information you need to submit before travelling and visit IRCC's Visitors to Canada webpage to find the latest information before you make travel plans, and again before departing, to avoid being denied boarding or entry to Canada.

Sincerely,
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
