To board your flight to Canada from a country other than the US, you must have written authorization from IRCC to fly to Canada.

How to request an authorization


Email us at IRCC.COVID-TravelExemptions-Exemptionsdevoyage-COVID.IRCC@cic.gc.ca only if you’re reuniting with an immediate family member who is living in Canada temporarily. We won’t respond to any other inquiries.


We’ll contact you within 5 business days of getting your email and tell you what to do next.


When you contact us, you must provide your

  • passport number
  • detailed reason for travel
  • proof of relationship with an immediate family member in Canada
  • proof of immigration status of your immediate family member in Canada (copy of their study permit or work permit)

Hi Everyone,

My spouse has a TRV valid until May 2021. If he applies for SOWP from India now and it will take few months for processing. Will he be able to travel to Canada while the application processing is in progress.

Thanks,
Naina
