Supervisa during covid lockdown

[taniam00]

Hello. I’m wondering if anyone was able to bring their parents who already got their supervisa approved to Canada during Covid.
My mom in law got her visa approved before Covid started but couldn’t get on a flight before the border closed. Can she come now? Or does she have to wait for the border to open? If so does the visa get extended then at all?

She is not listed as an immediate family member so she can’t come right now. More: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...avirus-covid19/visitors/immediate-family.html

Thanks for that link. She is a my husbands mom. My husband is a PR so doesn’t that work then?

Also another question. We live in Edmonton and she would be coming from India. So normally she has to either have her first stop in either Vancouver or Toronto before Edmonton. So can she board a flight to Edmonton then do quarantine in Edmonton. Or does she have to quarantine at first port of entry?

Didn’t know your husband is already a PR, she surely can come in this case. She needs to show a copy of his PR card and his birth certificate where is mentioned that she’s his mom. She can quarantine wherever she wants, so it would be you home, I believe.

Thanks forgot to specify that he was PR.

was concerned about if she can take a flight from port of entry to Edmonton before quarantine. Or would they ask her to quarantine at port of entry for 14 days first before coming to Edmonton.

How do we prove that her travel is essential?

 

[passenger19]

She is an immediate family member so she is not required to show that her travel is essential. But she has to prove that she is your husband’s mom. She is not required to quarantine at the port of entry either. You can check the link I provided for more details about required documents, her quarantine plan and so on.

The link is helpful. It just doesn’t talk about if someone has to go somewhere other than the Poe. Has anyone travelled in your family during covid?

Yes, a few members of my partner’s family arrived at Toronto airport but had a second flight to Ottawa.

 

[taniam00]

Oh ok! And they didn’t have any issues to get onto the Ottawa flight?

No they didn’t.

She will need to quarantine in somewhere separate in your home like a basement with a bathroom or your whole family will need to quarantine for 14 days.

@passenger19 Hello! We are looking forward to bring my grandmother to Canada and I'm permanent resident. Grandparents are not considered as immediate family members according to the link you posted above. Is there any chance to bring grand parents during the pandemic? I would appreciate any info

Thank you in advance!

You would need to get an authorization letter from IRCC.
