 Canada still considers studying abroad and settling down during the Covid-19 epidemic

Canada still considers the application for study abroad and settlement during the Covid-19 epidemic if the entry is eligible and meets the requirements related to the vaccine.

Accordingly, from July 5, those who fully meet the following requirements can enter Canada:

- Satisfy all Canadian immigration requirements

- Have fully vaccinated against Covid-19 on the list of vaccines accepted by the Canadian government.

- The last dose of vaccine must be given at least 14 days before entry. For example, if the last dose of the vaccine is given on August 1, immigrants can enter Canada on August 15.

- Have a negative PCR test for Covid-19 (results in English) within 72 hours before departure date.

- Have proof of full vaccinations in English or French and submit it to Arrive CAN (mobile app, developed by the Government of Canada), submitted at least 72 hours before departure

Canada recognizes the following vaccines: Pfizer-BioNTech; Moderna; AstraZeneca; Janssen (Johnson & Johnson).

On the contrary, despite the full injection, if it is the following vaccines: Bharat Biotech (Covaxin, BBV152 A, B, C); Cansino (Convidecia, Ad5-nCoV); Gamalaya (Sputnik V, Gam-Covid-Vac); Sinopharm (BBIBP-CorV, Sinopharm-Wuhan); Sinovac (CoronaVac, PiCoVacc); Vector Institute (EpiVacCorona)... international students who want to settle down are not allowed to enter.

After arriving in Canada, immigrants need to comply with the following regulations:

If fully vaccinated, people on entry will be exempt from isolation and return home or take a connecting flight. Usually, airport staff will take a Covid-19 test sample right at the airport or send a kit home for the individual to do it themselves.

If the vaccine is not fully vaccinated, as soon as they arrive in Canada, they must self-isolate at home or at a hotel for at least 14 days. All information about the address and quarantine schedule must be entered into Arrive CAN for the Government to track. When there are no symptoms of infection, this person can resume normal activities.

In general, despite being affected by Covid-19, studying abroad and settling in Canada is still conducted normally. People coming to Canada only need to strictly comply with the regulations of the Government of Canada to ensure the fight against the epidemic. In addition, the Government of Canada also sets a target that by the end of 2021, all Canadians will receive two free doses of the Covid-19 vaccine. Therefore, settlers can also feel secure when moving to Canada to live.

Above all, in the face of an aging population, a shortage of labor force and the impact of the epidemic, the Government of Canada has quickly introduced measures to support social and economic recovery. In particular, boosting the reception of more immigrants is one of the ways to grow the economy after the pandemic. In Canada, immigrants are not only a source of skilled workers, but also replace an aging workforce.
