I called up CBSA Peace Bridge, and the agent said it is okay to do a one way rental as long as we dispose the car first and then head over to the place of quarantine. Make sure to call up the appropriate port and check if they are open since some of the ports are closed, Peace Bridge is open 24...

I called up CBSA, and they said it is okay to do a one way rental as long as we dispose the car first and then head to our place of quarantine. So, the answer is yes. Be sure to get a COVID test within 72 hours of your travel.

Yes, thank you!

Hello everyone. I have been able to gather some information from the posts, but need more clarity on my situation. I will be moving to Canada and landing as a PR for the first time in March. I have a client in the US for whom I will be working as an Independent Contractor. Would I need to...

I am in a similar situation. I will be moving to Toronto on March 5th and have my employer in the US. I will work for them from Canada, but as an independent contractor. Due to covid, I will have to wait for 15 days until I can go in person to get my SIN. Can I start working before getting a...

Is it illegal to start working as an independent contractor and then register as a Sole Proprietor business? I will need to wait for 15 days to get an SIN. But I was hoping to start working before that. The company is pushing for it, but I want to make sure I am following the needed compliance.

Hi Folks, I have a similar question. I will be landing for the first time in Canada on March 5th. I plan to work as an Independent Contractor for a US based company. Since the in person appointments for SIN are only possible after the quarantine period (15 days), I will not have one until then...

Moving permanently, and yes we will get a COVID test as per the requirements before traveling. Thank you for the response.

Hi, I have a similar question. I will be moving to Canada in March, and will be landing there as a Permanent Resident for the first time. I can't apply for my SIN in person, due to quarantine rules (15 days). I however plan to start working as an Independent Contractor soon after landing. Would...

Hi Folks, so finally our move date is here! We will be driving to Toronto from NYC on March 5th. Since we plan to rent a car, does anyone know if we are supposed to hold on to it until the quarantine period ends? We plan to drive across the border, drop it off at the location and then head over...

Hey folks, my husband and I are planning on renting a car and traveling from New York City to Toronto. Even if we find a car to rent, which allows one way travel, do we have to hold on to the car until the quarantine period ends? Or can we drop it off, and then head over to our place of...

Just an update - My husband and I finally received an email from CPC-CTD and it had authorization letters for each one of us. The letter has instructions on our travel documents and an updated COPR number as well. We weren't asked to do any medical tests. They did not ask us to send our...

Yes, I think so too.

Congratulations! Finally. :) We have an update too. Just now I got an email from cic and it said there has been an update on the application, login to check the status. Under Document Status, it says 'Your Document is Valid' and Valid Until '2021/05/12'. I am glad to see some change, but not...

Hey! I haven't heard back from IRCC yet.

No, have not heard back yet.

I believe not many people from US are getting authorization letters because of the easy possibility of soft landing, which Canada is not open to at the moment. That is just my personal speculation.

Geez! Thanks for sharing. Yeah, so I had reached out to CBSA by email as well, to ask about traveling on expired CoPR. They said they do not deal with immigration related questions and I figured they would not have any information about it. Makes sense that they would just use the number on the...

Thank you for sharing this information. I have been checking my account to see if there has been any activity, but nothing yet. Yeah, it is disappointing to be in this situation and deal with the uncertainty. All the responses to my web-forms have been generic, and I guess it is the same for...

I haven't mentioned about employment plans because it is a US based company with no entity in Canada. Hence, I will be working as an independent contractor because of my PR status from Canada. I think that is pretty commonly done. Not sure if I should mention it to them.
