COVID-19 cases are hitting record daily highs in a large number of U.S. states — which would make any resumption of pre-pandemic travel a significant health threat to Canada. The senior government officials have confirmed that the agreement to restrict travel across the Canada-U.S. border will be extended into August. The agreement, which has to be reviewed each month, was set to expire on July 21. It’s now being renewed for the fourth time since the border closed to non-essential traffic on March 21.

The extension comes after Dr. Howard Njoo, Canada’s deputy public health officer, said the border closure continues to make sense from a public health perspective because of the differences in the epidemiological climates in the two countries. “Canadians have made tremendous sacrifices to date in terms of flattening the curve and we’re seeing the fruits of our labours,” Njoo said. “We don’t want to  waste these efforts by potentially  reintroducing the virus into Canada and increasing the risk of further transmission.”

Devika and John were excellent. They understood how this process would change my life and helped me get to the US. John was extremely kind and thorough. When my employer in the US ended up trying to take advantage of me, they helped me transfer my visa to a new employer and had so much empathy for my situation and now I have a job in California that makes me so happy while helping others. I am beyond grateful for their kindness and service. I will be using them for any changes to my status going forward.

I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional service provided by the Canadian Immigration law firm, particularly Attorney Andres. From the outset, their dedication to resolving my Canadian immigration matters was evident. Attorney Andres exemplified professionalism and empathy, dedicating ample time to understand my situation during our appointments. His communication skills were exemplary; he not only actively listened but also ensured clarity by summarizing our discussions and outlining the next steps via email promptly. Moreover, Attorney Andres’ profound knowledge of Canadian law was evident throughout the process, enabling him to navigate our various immigration matters effectively. His thorough analysis revealed potential roadblocks, prompting him to proactively engage with government agencies to obtain necessary details, all without incurring additional costs. The firm’s commitment to excellence and client satisfaction sets them apart. I highly recommend their services to anyone navigating Canadian immigration complexities. Thank you, Attorney Andres and the entire team, for your unwavering support and expertise.
