根据安省公共卫生局5月26日上午10时30分公布的数据,截止5月25日,安省确诊病例累计26,191例,单日增加287例,这不仅是5月份最低,也是近两个月来最低。疫情虽在转好却仍旧持续中, 5月依然是一个关键的月份,加拿大的政策从入境到签证到移民,各方面都在不断地发生变化。近期又有哪些政策更新,哪些政策是你关心的,我们整理了一下。

加拿大移民申请不会因为无法提供生物指纹信息被拒
移民局5月20日针对生物采集做出了最新规定:申请不会因疫情期间无法提供生物采集而拒签!签证及PR申请人的生物采集期限将自动延长,可无视此前30天或90天的期限规定。移民局不会给申请人发放新的生物采集通知。生物采集点开放后,所有申请人完成采集即可,无需更新生物采集文件。
Biometrics extension for temporary and permanent residence applicants
Some biometrics collection sites are still closed. These sites include
- visa application centres (VACs)
- United States (US) application support centers (ASCs)
- Service Canada offices
If the site closest to you is closed, we’ll automatically extend your deadline to give your biometrics.
You don’t have to give your biometrics until the sites reopen. This applies to you, even if your biometrics instruction letter (BIL) says you have 30 or 90 days.
You don’t have to contact us for this extension, and you don’t need a new BIL to make another appointment when sites reopen. Bring your original BIL to your new appointment to show proof of payment.
Your application won’t be refused or closed if you can’t give your biometrics due to COVID-19 closures.
因COVID-19导致的签证处理变化及更新
- 由于疫情,加拿大将暂停处理非必要的访客签证申请。这一暂停也适用于某些电子旅行授权(eTA)申请。
- 符合旅行限制豁免条件的人员的签证和eTA申请将继续得到处理。这包括所有临时外籍工人申请,特别侧重于基本服务,如医疗领域和食品供应链。
- 学生的学习许可将在秋季学期前继续办理。申请学习许可需要生物识别技术,许多通常提供这项服务的签证申请中心已经关闭。作为一项特殊措施,由于COVID-19,申请人现在被给予90天而不是标准的30天来进行生物识别。需要指出的是,目前只有在2020年3月18日前获得留学许可的学生才能前往加拿大。
- 劳工、学生和访问者(有资格获得旅行限制豁免)必须通过网上申请。
- 永久居留申请仍在处理中。目前,只有在2020年3月18日前获得批准的永久居民才能前往加拿大。
- 移民局IRCC将继续提供任何进一步更改的最新信息,包括取消暂停处理的时间。
Processing changes for visas due to COVID-19
Ottawa, April 29, 2020—With the current travel restrictions in place, most foreign nationals are prevented from entering Canada, with some exemptions.
With these restrictions, Canada is suspending processing of non-essential visitor visa applications. This allows Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to focus resources on critical services. This suspension also applies to some electronic travel authorization (eTA) applications.
Processing of visa and eTA applications for those who are allowed to come to Canada will continue. This includes all temporary foreign worker applications, with a particular focus on essential services, such as those in medical fields and food supply chains.
The processing of study permits for students will continue in anticipation of the fall study term. IRCC will continue to process applications to the extent possible. Study permit applications require biometrics, and many visa application centres that normally provide this service are closed. As a special measure, due to COVID-19, applicants are now being given 90 days instead of the standard 30 days to give biometrics. It should be noted that only students who have a valid study permit or were approved for a study permit on or before March 18, 2020, can currently travel to Canada.
Workers, students and visitors (who qualify for an exemption to travel restrictions) must apply online.
Permanent residence applications continue to be processed. Only permanent residents who received approval on or before March 18, 2020, can currently travel to Canada.
