Hi yes I have booked with Air Canada from Delhi to Vancouver.
Is that a direct flight or with a stopover in Toronto? I am just trying to figure out where the immigration process would be done. As I am looking into flights to Ottawa via Toronto

No I booked the direct flight from Delhi to Vancouver. If you land first in Toronto then your immigration process would be completed there.

Hi have you got your authorization letter?. I am taking Air Canada on Oct 30 and do you know if we need any Medical test or Covid test to be done before boarding the flight.

No they did not mention anything about this. so I don't think that we need to do test. .

Hi, I have reached Vancouver this morning. No covid test required for Air Canada and no test taken on arrival. Immigration process was very smooth.

I'm not sure, but I don't think there should be any issue, assuming your work permit is still valid and you still have the job. Having a job there IMO satisfies the 'essential travel' requirement. But you should still double-check this with IRCC using a web-form. Twitter may also work.

Also, more information is available here, in case you have not gone through it already: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/service-delivery/coronavirus/temporary-residence/work-permit.html#toc2

Hi Everyone,

I am on PR and travelling to India on Nov 6th. I got my RTPCR- exemption approved and Self reporting is also complete. My question is that do I need to register on Consulate?
Is there any registration requirement?
