Temporarily leaving Canada under Covid

[redhotgalego]

Hi all,

I am a PR from Spain and given the situation, I'd like to leave for a few months in the new year to be back home with my family. I'd self isolate in Spain as soon as I land of course, but aside from that, what do I need to know? Will Canadian authorities allow me to leave the country? I have found lots of info on coming back to Canada but not much on leaving the country right now so any help or experiences will be greatly appreciated

Other than finding a flight and meeting the requirements to fly to Spain, there is nothing to prevent you from leaving Canada.

As long as you are not receiving any form of income replacement from the government you can leave. Travel is currently only recommended for emergency purposes so if you get stuck in Spain for some reason it will be up to you to wait it out. The world is changing to fast to know what will happen a few months from now.

Thank you both for your responses. It is good to know that I will have to cancel EI before leaving.
