Turning impossible dreams to possible realities

Canada's immigration policy during the COVID-19 pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted every aspect of life, including immigration. With borders closed and travel restrictions in place, many countries have had to rethink their immigration policies. Canada, known for its welcoming approach to immigration, has also had to adapt to the changing circumstances.

In March 2020, Canada closed its borders to non-essential travel to slow the spread of COVID-19. This meant that many immigrants and refugees who were in the process of coming to Canada were delayed or had to put their plans on hold. However, the government continued to process applications for permanent residence, and temporary foreign workers and international students were still able to enter Canada if they met certain conditions.
