Canada Re-Introduces Random COVID-19 Testing On Air Travellers

Canada resumes random testing for fully vaccinated air travellers as of July 19. The mandatory random testing for air travellers was earlier paused on June 11.

“As we have said all along, Canada’s border measures will remain flexible and adaptable, guided by science and prudence. We need to keep border testing measures in place because that is how we track importation of the COVID-19 virus, and of new variants of concern. We will keep adapting our border measures to balance the need to protect Canadians while supporting our economic recovery,” assured honorable Minister of Health Jean-Yves Duclos.

Testing will resume at the four major Canadian airports in Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, and Toronto. Those selected for a random test will receive an email notification within 15 minutes of completing their customs declaration, explaining how they can arrange for a test.

A fully vaccinated traveller must have received two doses of an approved COVID-19 vaccine, or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, at least 14 days before entering Canada.

Travellers who do not qualify as fully vaccinated must continue to complete a 14-day quarantine and test themselves on day one and eight.

Selected partially vaccinated can complete their tests by virtual appointment or an in-person appointment at select pharmacies and still respect their quarantine requirements. If the arrival test results are positive, travellers are advised to go into isolation for 10 days, irrespective of the province or territory isolation requirement.

Regardless of vaccination status, the tests will be done outside of the airport, either at an in-person appointment at a testing provider location, or a virtual appointment for a self-swab test.

All travellers must continue to use ArriveCAN to provide mandatory travel information within 72 hours before their arrival in Canada, with few exceptions.

Global Liveability Index 2022: Three Canadian Cities Ranked Among Top 10 Most Liveable Cities

Canadian cities namely Calgary, Vancouver, and Toronto continue to retain top spots on Global Liveability Index 2022.

The index is a yearly assessment by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) on the urban quality of life, determined by five factors – stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education, and infrastructure.

The Economist Intelligence Unit is a division of The Economist Group, which operates the popular magazine The Economist.

The survey ranked Calgary in Alberta province at third position out of 172 world cities, the highest by any city in Canada. It tied up with Zurich in Switzerland.

Vancouver in British Columbia province moved up a place to fifth, compared to last year’s rank. While Toronto in Ontario province slipped one place to secure the eighth position.

Together, they make three Canadian cities among the top 10 most ‘liveable’ cities.

The high ranking of Canadian cities- Calgary in Alberta province, Vancouver in British Columbia province, and Toronto in Ontario province also indicate that these urban cities are free from the threat of terror, military conflict or civil unrest.

The availability and quality of private and public healthcare as well as education are beyond expectations in these cities. Also, the quality of roads, public transportation, availability of housing, secularity and tolerance are all at its peak.

Canadian Cities Popular Among Immigrants

According to Statistics Canada, Calgary had welcomed nearly 46% of total immigrants moving to Alberta. During the same period, nearly 81% of total immigrants moving to British Columbia landed up in Vancouver and about 76% of immigrants who moved to Ontario chose Toronto as their preferred destination.

Toronto is the largest city in Canada and is a competitor to Silicon Valley and Seattle in terms of tech jobs and settlements. Since 2013, it has added about 80,100 tech jobs and skilled foreign immigrants were its major beneficiaries.

Calgary, Alberta is known for heavy establishments such as the oil and gas industry and the same requires a skilled workforce which is fulfilled by foreign skilled Immigration.

Last year’s index applauded the efforts of Vancouver in maintaining corruption-free public services, a high-level of secularism, and greater sensitivity to climate change. Toronto outranked other Canadian cities in healthcare and education services.

Additionally, a recent study by the Canadian Bureau for International Education ranked Canada’s stability as the number one deciding factor for international students.

Qualifying for Canadian Permanent Residency

A unique agreement between the federal government and provincial governments of Alberta, Ontario, and British Columbia offers immigration opportunities – Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP), the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP), and the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) respectively.

A successful nomination under any one of the three provincial programs can boost your chances of qualifying for Canadian permanent residence.

Currently, the AINP has three immigration streams: Alberta Opportunity Stream, Alberta Self-Employed Farmer Stream, and Alberta Express Entry Stream. Each of these streams caters to a specific group of immigrants.

In recent times, Alberta’s Express Entry Stream has given provincial nominations to eligible candidates even with CRS cut-off scores as low as 300.

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) accepts applications under three immigration categories namely Human Capital Category, Employer Job Offer Category, and Business Category. Express Entry candidates with work experience in specific tech occupations are targeted under the Human Capital Category.
