ISSUES CAUSED BY COVID-19 FOR CANADIAN CITIZENS
I am a Canadian Citizen. Are there any travel restrictions that apply to me?
No, as a Canadian Citizen, the travel restrictions do not apply to you. You will be permitted to re-enter Canada.
I am a permanent resident of Canada. I wish to apply for Canadian citizenship. I am stuck outside of Canada due to COVID-19. Will the time I spent abroad while the travel restrictions are in place / limited flight availability to Canada be counted towards my residency obligation for Canadian citizenship?
No, the time you spend abroad, even if it due to the COVID-19 travel restrictions or limited flight availability to get back into Canada, will not be counted towards your residency obligation to qualify for Canadian citizenship. Time spent abroad as a permanent resident of Canada for any reason will not be counted towards your residency obligation.
