Hi guys,

For the life of me, in the IRCC site when they speak about the restrictions, etc there is this confusing part :


The following foreign nationals who require a work permit and are currently outside Canada are notsubject to Canada’s travel restrictions if travelling to Canada for a non-optional or non-discretionary purpose:

  1. Foreign nationals who hold a valid Canadian work permit for a specific employer or foreign nationals who hold a valid open work permit and whose travel is for a non-discretionary purpose.
    Document to present to the air carrier: The status document [IMM 1442] (the actual valid work permit document).”

What? I thought IMM1442 was not the same document as the actual work permit. So if someone has a valid work permit, he needs to bring an IMM1442 form too?

No, you just need to present the work permit you received when you first came to Canada. The one that CBSA gave you at the airport.

You would also need a valid visa/ETA in addition to this document.
