Exxence India:Canada extending India flight restrictions until September

Exxence India:Transport Canada has confirmed that direct flights between Canada and India will remain on hold until September 21.

The Canadian government is adding another month of restrictions on flights to and from India.

As part of an ongoing public health measure, the ban on direct flights between Canada and India will continue until September 21, 2021, according to a Transport Canada media release. All direct commercial and private passenger flights are suspended. Only cargo operations, medical transfers, or military flights are allowed to go directly between the two countries.

In order to come to Canada from India amid these restrictions, travellers will need to take an indirect route. Regardless of immigration status, travellers from India will need a pre-arrival test from a third country, taken within 72 hours of their final departure to Canada. This can be any country other than India, which may have its own coronavirus-related measures to follow.Exxence India having more than 300 clients already sent to canada.

Canada originally banned direct flights to and from India in April. At the time, it was due to a high proportion of India travellers testing positive for COVID-19. The government also imposed a on Pakistan flights, but that restriction was eased in June.

Flight ban comes as schools and border opens

The ban could create a hurdle for international students from India, as many schools across Canada plan to start in-person classes this fall. Although international students going to COVID-19-ready institutions are exempt from travel restrictions, the ban could mean extra travel planning and budgeting for students and parents. Indian students make up a large percentage of international students in Canada. In recent years, about 30 per cent of international students in Canada come from India.Exxence India tries to make all there clients query as soon as possible.

Fully vaccinated tourists from India, along with the rest of the world, are scheduled to be allowed into Canada starting September 7. This new measures will apply to those who are fully vaccinated with Astra Zeneca/COVISHIELD, or any other Canada-approved vaccine.
