Subject: Request to be exempted from Canada’s Travel Restrictions for the extended family member exemption


December 02, 2020



Good day,



Your request to be exempted from the current restrictions to travel to Canada has been refused under the COVID-19 Emergency Orders in Council (OIC) pursuant to section 58 of the Quarantine Act.

Based on our assessment of the information you provided and the information in our system, we have not found that you meet the extended family member exemption. In particular,



You have not provided a complete statutory declaration attesting to your relationship with the Canadian Citizen or permanent resident that is signed by the Canadian citizen or permanent resident.


Please note that if you already possess a valid visitor visa or electronic travel authorization (eTA), this refusal has no impact on your travel document, and is solely a refusal of your request for written authorization which you require to travel to Canada while the travel restrictions are in place. If you do not already have a valid visa or eTA and have applied for a travel document, this refusal for written authorization does not have an impact on the processing or on the decision rendered on your visa or eTA application.



As you are not exempt from the restrictions to travel to Canada, you should not plan or undertake any travel to Canada, as you may be prevented from boarding your flight and/or entering Canada.



Sincerely,



Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
