Hello,
1. Me (36) and my wife (34), Indian Nationals, plan to visit Canada. We both have travel visa's for Canada.
2. My parents (biological) stay in Canada, and are Canadian citizens.
3. Me, nor wife, are dependant on them.
4. We are vaccinated with Covaxin, not recognized by the Canadian authorities and as such understand that we would be treated as unvaccinated.
6. From what I understand from the information available on travel.gc.ca :
a. I need to travel to a country (current plan : Egypt); get an RT-PCR done, and if negative - I am able to fly to Canada.
b. I need an "Application for Authorization and Statutory Declaration for purpose of entry into Canada for Extended Family Members" : imm0006e-2020-10-09. This is because I won't qualify as an immediate family member who is dependant.
c. Our planned stay is for 15 days or more.
d. I would need to quarantine (14 days) with more tests. The house (parents) has a separate basement with a room, and bathroom and ample space for me to quarantine.
7. Here are my specific questions :
i. Pertaining to 6.a : If I travel from India to Egypt, get a test approved by Canadian govt (I plan for RT PCR) - and then fly out to Canada (after getting the result) would that be acceptable or is there a time frame that I need to wait in this country ? Per my understanding the requirement to wait in a third country for 14 days is from the "third" country and not Canada (unlike US).
ii. Pertaining to 6.b : When filling out the form [Application for Authorization and Statutory Declaration for purpose of entry into Canada for Extended Family Members] would my wife fall under the category "my non-dependant children" in Section 4. I find no information of the familial relation to be filled for the spouse of the non-dependant child of a canadian national.
8. Any help would be appreciated. I have tried emailing IRCC, VFS India, and Canadian High Commission.
