This thread is for International Students, based in the USA, who already have their Letter of Study application approval(Letter of Approval) or the Study Permit. We all know that COVID-19 has changed the way things used to be in terms of ease of traveling. The requirements for individuals wanting to travel to Canada from the USA is often different, hence the need to create this thread.
So, it would be a great thing to share our experiences boarding our flights, landing in Canada, the quarantine process, the three-day mandatory hotel bookings, and all. It would be nice to put a word of advise or two in case of any potential 'pitfalls', or things we later learnt we could have done differently. The number of travelers; were the only person that travelled or you moved with your immediate family member(s) (1,2,3,etc)? Hotel recommendation based on personal experience. Were you refunded if you spent less that 3 days, how cheap in relative to other hotels? Did you move through the land border in case your final destination is the border city( e.g traveling to Windsor from Detroit using the tunnel or Ambassador bridge).
All these would be of great help to intending travelers. In my case, I would be moving in first week of May with my spouse and kids. I understand a written authorization may be required by IRCC for immediate family members who want to travel from outside the USA to Canada. The only point of confusion is the information that ONLY ONE member of family is allowed to travel. Everything would definitely become clearer as the days go by.
Feel free to share your experience guys; USA to Canada travelers only!
For the sake of clarity, this thread applies to non-citizens, and non-permanent residents of USA only.
