Temporary resident visas (TRVs): COVID-19 program delivery
This section contains policy, procedures and guidance used by IRCC staff. It is posted on the department’s website as a courtesy to stakeholders.
COVID-19 border measures have ended
On October 1, 2022, all COVID-19 border requirements, including vaccination, mandatory use of ArriveCAN, and any testing and quarantine or isolation requirements, ended for all travellers entering Canada by land, air or sea.
COVID-19 related PDIs will be updated, removed, or information incorporated into the regular PDIs, as necessary.
These program delivery instructions align with the Ministerial Instructions (MIs) that are in effect from April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023. While processing continues for temporary resident visa (TRV) applications, intake has been limited, until further notice, to applications submitted online (with the exception for those with a disability who cannot apply online). Information about the cohorts of applicants who are exempt from the requirement to submit a TRV application using electronic means can be found at Temporary residence: COVID-19 program delivery.
