Air Travel to the U.S. Remain Available to Canadians

Tuesday, 27 July 2021 by Kimo | TWA
Due to the raging COVID-19 pandemic, the Canada-U.S. land border have been closed over a year since March 2020. While vaccination rates are escalating in both countries, the reopening of the border has been postponed several times. As Canadians and Americans eagerly expect to reunite with their loved ones across the border, a full-reopening of the border still requires time. On July 19, the Government of Canada announced its plan to allow fully vaccinated American citizens and permanent residents can enter the country without mandatory quarantine – a measure that will take effect on August 9. While Canada welcomes the return of its neighbour, the U.S. has yet to devise any reciprocal border measures. However, despite the inability to enter the U.S. by vehicles or ferries, one means remain open to Canadians who wish to visit the U.S., and that is travelling by air.

IRPR Strengthens Protection of Temporary Foreign Workers

Thursday, 15 July 2021 by Kimo | TWA

On July 10, 2021, the Government of Canada proposed a series of amendments to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR). The amendments address the necessity of enhancing the protection of temporary foreign workers, who may lack access to information on their rights. As a result, these workers may be rendered vulnerable to workplace exploitation and abuse. While the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) and the International Mobility Program (IMP) were devised to ensure employer discipline, there remain some gaps in need of adjustment.
