Details have been released on Canada’s definition of extended family members, requirements for compassionate travelers to get exempt, and how to get limited release from quarantine.
As of today, October 8, extended family members can now cross the border to Canada, provided they are staying for at least 15 days and meet existing eligibility and admissibility requirements. If you are extended family, you do not need a non-optional, non-discretionary reason to travel to Canada.
