Travel with a kid during COVID pandemic

[jae.jaganraj]

Hi,
I am a PR holder and planning for the relocation from India to Vancouver in September'20. Whether the airports and planes are safe now to take the kids along with us? Please share suggestions on the airlines to use from India to Vancouver.
Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Raj

You can come back to Canada at any time. Are you in compliance with your RO and are the kids PRs?

Could you please help on what do you meant by RO? All of us are in India news, holding Indian passports (citizens) and Canada PR cards. My kid is 4 years old.

The RO is your residency obligation of 730 days' presence in Canada every five years.

Okay, got it. Thanks for the clarification. L I have got the PR last July and resided for a week until now. I am planning to relocate next month.

Well airlines keep pushing fact that the filtration system onboard is as good as can get . Different airlines have different requirements but you should expect to wear a mask for the whole trip so ensure you bring at least one for each 4 hours of travel given wearing a mask for 4 hours is considered maximum time. Not sure that Children are generally required to wear a mask but again that could vary by airline and down to parental choice If not mandated by the airline.

As for passing through airports no idea your routing but again many airports around the world have made it mandatory to wear a mask the moment enter the terminal.

There are only so many precautions can take but ultimately everything in life is a risk and airports/airlines would not be operating if risk was not manageable.

Do not forget to organise your isolation plan before travelling as that requirement is unlikely to go away any time soon.

Cannot advise on any airline choice although did read that choices from India seem still limited
