Are you outside Canada?

If IRCC has approved your permanent resident application, but you can't travel to Canada before your documents expire, or your documents have already expired, you do not need to contact IRCC unless you’re ready to travel to Canada.

Are you ready to travel to Canada?

Use the Web form to advise IRCC when you are travelling and the reason you are travelling. IRCC will advise you according to your situation.

You can come to Canada and become a permanent resident now if you plan to stay and settle here. If you’re planning on coming temporarily and leave again, you can’t travel right now unless you meet a different travel exemption. Also:

• when you arrive, you must quarantine for 14 days in Canada, and have a plan to quarantine and how you will get to the place you’re staying

• all family members included in the application should travel to Canada at the same time, if possible

• you should have a confirmed travel plan (e.g., plane tickets) or you must be willing to book and confirm travel plans as soon as approved
