The Canadian government has introduced new rules limiting international travel from India and Pakistan for 30 days.
Key Points:
Background: Canada has seen a recent surge of COVID-19 cases. From Feb. 22 to April 19, the Public Health Agency of Canada reported that 1.4 percent of travelers entering the country tested positive for COVID-19. The 30-day suspension serves as a temporary measure put in place so the Canadian government can assess and evaluate the evolving situation both domestically and internationally.
Analysis & Comments: The restrictions will complicate travel from India and Pakistan to Canada. Those with urgent travel needs should work closely with their immigration provider to discuss the best available options. The response to COVID-19 continues to change, and more information will be provided as it becomes available.
