Hello,

I have a flight booked from Portugal to Canada, with my Canadian wife and daughter (I am Portuguese).

I'm trying to understand if I'll be able to enter Canada but I am getting different information on the various pages of the Canadian Immigration site.

Seems that is in order a interim order that firstly stated that I could enter Canada since I am a immidiate family member of a Canadian Citizen, but now that Interim Order os on its third version and it looks like I'm not allowed to enter Canada anymore, can someone help me understand this?

Previous order:
https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/mediaroom/interim-order-prevent-certain-persons-boarding-flights-canada-covid-19-no-2.html

Latest order:
https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/mediaroom/interim-order-prevent-certain-persons-boarding-flights-canada-covid-19-no-3.html

I contacted the Canadian embassy and they sent me a link to the old interim order, and said that I can enter Canada but I think they are providing old info.

1. Well the way I read the Transport Canada site, unless you are a Citizen or a Permanent resident, the Airline is not supposed to board you. I realize it is contrary to what CIC is posting, but airlines are Transport Canada's call.

Well that's the way I read it too, but it's so stupid that even the Embassy is providing the wrong information.

If I didn't ended up in the Transport Canada site I wouldn't have known.
