Travelling from India with Visitor Visa

[Moinhaider]

Hello All. I have a valid visitor visa until March 2021. I am currently in India. I want to travel to Canada before my visa expires. I read the news about air bubble agreement between India and Canada. Am I eligible to travel through that? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thankyou

You still have to be exempt from the travel restrictions, which do not allow for tourism or other discretionary travel. Do you have immediate family in Canada?

There is no air bubble. This is fake news.

You must have an immediate family member (like a spouse) in Canada in order to be allowed to travel right now.

A Google search suggests there was an agreement to resume flights between Canada and India that some news outlets called an "air bubble," but of course it has no impact on eligibility to actually travel to Canada.

Yes - I'm well aware of that. These articles surfaced a number of weeks ago but were only reported in Indian media. Several articles claimed that anyone from India with a TRV would now be able to travel to Canada as a visitor (no restrictions). Needless to say, no announcements about such a bubble were made by Canadian authorities. So fake news.

I don't have immediate family. Only my uncle

No you can’t travel to Canada until travel restrictions lifted

In that case it is not possible to travel to Canada at this time. You will need to wait until travel restrictions have lifted.
