The Government of Canada announced that starting July 5, 2021, at 11:59 p.m. EDT, all fully-vaccinated travellers (Canadians, Permanent Residents, foreign nationals travelling for essential purposes) will be exempted from the federal requirement to quarantine or take a COVID-19 test on Day 8 after their arrival. In addition, fully vaccinated travellers arriving by air will not be required to stay at a government-authorized hotel.

Travellers must provide proof of their vaccinations electronically through the Government of Canada’s ArriveCAN application and will still need to meet all other mandatory requirements such as pre- and on-arrival COVID-19 testing.

To be considered fully vaccinated, a traveller must have received the full-series or a combination of the following vaccinations:

  • AstraZeneca/COVISHIELD
  • Janssen (Johnson & Johnson)
  • Moderna
  • Pfizer

For travellers who are not fully vaccinated, there are no changes in the current border restrictions.

I have had a great experience with Borders Law firm through out my son's citizenship and my wife's PR application. Devika, John Yoon, and Brendan are well knowledgeable and always gave the best advice. John Yoon, I can't thank you enough he made sure all the paper work is in order and dealing with 3 different department at the same time at he tail end of my wife's PR application, always there to answer my questions even after hours. John was just wonderful though out I have had a great experience with Borders Law Firm and I would strongly recommend this firm.

If you need a Immigration Law Firm that you can trust, Borders Law Firm is for you. We retained Devika and her team to work on a misrepresentation case. We asked them to help us in a very short period of time (less than a week) but they did an impeccable, impeccable job. They were willing to work and reply to our questions early and off hours and show their dedication to help out. In 2 weeks, we were able to get our work permit. Immigration issues are scary and its easy to feel hopeless but with the right people and resources, there will be a solution. I strongly recommend Devika, she showed a lot of care, very professional, very technical and very smart. You will not regret hiring her, her work is worth it, more than priceless! Special thanks to Hillen, for going above and beyond, making sure that our response letter is accurate and flawless.

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.
