Canada Extends India Flight Ban

The first flight ban for any flights from India to Canada was imposed on April 22nd, 2021. Since then, there have been four extensions to the ban. Recently, the ban was set to expire on July 21st, 2021 but is now extended for another 30 days until August 21st, 2021. The original ban included Pakistan but flights from Pakistan was lifted last month on June 21st.

The ban was originally imposed due to fears over the devastating second wave of COVID-19 in India and now there are additional fears of the Delta variant. On Monday, July 19th, the Health Canada organization said that the ban was “based on public health advice”.

Passengers from India connecting at another point of departure for Canada will be required to have a negative RT-PCR test pre-departure before finishing the journey to Canada.

India is the leading source country for newcomers and international students immigrating to Canada. This flight ban from India has certainly slowed down the immigration rate to Canada from India. If you want to travel to Canada from India, contact our immigration consultants to speak with an immigration professional about your specific case.

Hello! I am one of VisaPlace's many immigration news contributors. Comment below if you have any questions or comments about this article.

When you get the opportunity to go to the US for work from abroad, then I would say VisaPlace would be your best option to get all your documents in place. My 5 star feedback is based on the help I received from Danielle Grbic as she was really professional, I would straight away ask for Danielle to be in charge of your process. From the time that Danielle took over my case I felt confident that it will go well and at the end it went smoother than expected. On my own I would never have been able to get this internal work transfer done as a L1 visa and was best for the professionals to take charge. After arriving in the US, Danielle was still happy to assist with documents and advise. A huge thanks to Danielle and VisaPlace

I spoke with Lilly last week and she’s incredible. Very informative and you can tell she definably cares about her job. She wasn’t pushy at all and she’s there to help you figure out if this service is right for you. I’d recommend contacting VisaPlace if you’re thinkin of traveling internationally and you have questions about the different types of permits.

I had a great experience with Andrew Diamond from The Visa Place. Andrew was very knowledgable and helped us every step of the way. When we had a discrepancy with my spouse’s Visa Andrew helped us navigate the system in the USA. He even offered to speak directly to the customs and border control officer to help us iron out the situation. Overall the experience was very good and smooth. I highly recommend Andrew and his services at The Visa Place.

Krista Sparkes

Extremely satisfied with the professionalism, expertise, efficiency, speed and thoroughness at which my file was managed. Fadi & Danielle are true class acts! Their response times were fantastic (especially during a high-stress period), their quality of work was phenomenal, and their willingness to go the extra mile (without hidden costs, no less!) to prepare me for my work permit interview was unmatched. I strongly recommend VisaPlace to anyone seeking legal counsel as it relates to cross-border services. Highest Regards, Krista
