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.

I had a fantastic experience with Brenda! I was very anxious about my status for an upcoming trip to the U.S and Brenda managed to really ease my nerves. She gave exceptional customer service and she made my day. I truly had an incredible experience. I would recommend Brenda to anyone and everyone!

Meeting with Frank Zhang was very informative. Frank was very pleasant and explained everything I needed to know about the issue. My file was set up in record time. There was confusion at the beginning about the time of the meeting likely due to different time zones. Everything else went smoothly. Very happy with the service so far!

Bansuri assisted me and let me tell you: she was awesome when I called in, she was very nice in providing the information, being professional and friendly. I felt more drawn and secure to trust and move forward in the process of scheduling appointment with VisaPlace. I must admit I had my doubts, but this helped tons. Plus I didn’t have to wait like other places which they had appointments available in +1month. It was the very next day here. So far all is good 👍

I’m have just started to get the counseling for the journey of bringing my loved one to Canada. Mansi is a good and honest consular. She offered the best option to visiting Canada and explained the details. I think if everything goes well on my side, then I would ask for visitor visa’s experts to make an application.
