Briefing

Canada has extended its travel ban on most international travelers until July 31, 2020.  It is noteworthy that Canada has not reciprocated with the European Union, which lifted Canada from its travel ban yesterday. The extension of the foreign travel ban was made based on the recommendation of Health Minister Patty Hajdu. The United States is exempt from the travel restrictions pursuant to a separate agreement made between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

However, there are certain differences between them, among others, such as: (1) the entities in charge of each of the registration systems; and (2) RUTEC going beyond the notification of hiring or contract termination of foreign workers, since labor migration policy will be constructed at least in part based on the information collected.
