Hi, I would like to know if an approved PR under ECONOMIC CLASS can travel to Canada right now?
PR approved - Jan. 12, 2021
COPR and PRV - issued Feb. 5, 2021
My husband is currently in Alberta right now.
Can we be exempted from travel ban as an immediate family?

I think yes, you can travel but you have to follow the SOP, u need to make booking in designated hotel for initial 3 days (@$2000), then quarantine for balance 12 days if covid-19 result is negative.

To be eligible, you must be both

Coming for compassionate reasons
If you’re a foreign national travelling to Canada for a compassionate reason, you must get an authorization from the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) to travel to and enter Canada.

Examples of compassionate reasons can include

  • being present during the final moments of life of a loved one
  • providing support to a person deemed critically ill
  • providing care to a person who medically requires support
  • attending a funeral or end-of-life ceremony
After you get an authorization from PHAC
You may also need to apply for a visitor visa or eTA. This will allow you to board your flight and travel to Canada.

If you don’t know which travel document you need to travel to Canada, use our online tool to find out if you need a visitor visa or eTA.

If you’re not eligible to come for compassionate reasons, you must meet the requirements for immediate or extended family members or all other foreign nationals who are eligible to travel to the country.
