Query on Travel ban exceptions for open work permit holders

[Copingwithlife]

I did provide all necessary details and mentioned reason for travel to reunite with my husband. They rejected my request saying it is non essential. Anyone has any idea when can they actually reopen borders for all international travel?

When the spread of the virus is under control is my best guess

Nobody really knows although original emergency order had a June 30 date but that is not an indication when travel restrictions might ease. The fact that even the US Canada border is keeping restrictions for another month does not bode well for international air travel from other countries. Even if some restrictions are lifted airlines will take some time to bring routes and schedules back.

Hi I am the same situation as your husband. I am also in open work permit. I tried to board the plane with my daughter who is on student visa. But we were denied boarding. Airlines contact border patrol and they said our trip was non essential.

Hi, can you share what airport was it? Also, were you denied at the check in desk or later during immigration check at the airport itself?

It had been extended for a month the travel ban
What is your visa and your husband's visa?

Im from Philippines. Denied at check in desk. Airlines have protocols to contact CBSA before anyone not on PR or not Canadian Citizen can board the plane. So it's the same regardless of Port of origin. CBSA has the final say.

FYI even if we can secure a letter CBSA will decide on a case by case basis. If you have a job offer chances are higher. If no job offer chances are that your travel is non essential and they won't let you enter the country even if you were able to board the plane or even if you have an IRCC letter.

Hey, were you able to travel to Canada without job offer . Did you receive any authorization letter . I’m going to travel next week with my wife but did not receive any response from IRCC yet after 3 weeks. Also please let me know if CBSA officer will talk to us directly at check in desk.

Hi, I got an offer letter so, booked tickets without any authorization letter. They didn't ask anything at London airport, they just saw my Visa and as I had dependent Visa, allowed me to board the flight. At Toronto airport while providing work permit document they asked me for the offer letter and didn't actually verified or asked many questions. I came to Canada in July.
