WASHINGTON— U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will celebrate Independence Day this year by welcoming more than 9,400 new citizens in 170 naturalization ceremonies between June 30 and July 7. These ceremonies demonstrate our commitment to welcoming immigrants. USCIS is proud to welcome people from all over the world as our newest U.S. citizens during this celebration of Independence Day.

“This year marks the 245th birthday of our Nation,” said Acting USCIS Director Tracy Renaud. “We are committed to promoting policies and procedures that ensure we operate fairly and efficiently, and continue to encourage and embrace the full participation of the newest Americans in our democracy.”

Each July 4, we celebrate the day the Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence in 1776, declaring that the 13 American colonies regarded themselves as a new nation—the United States of America—and were no longer part of the British Empire. USCIS commemorates this momentous occasion by hosting special Independence Day-themed naturalization ceremonies across the country.

This year’s Independence Day activities will include two special ceremonies. This includes a naturalization ceremony with President Biden at the White House on July 2.

Guide for travellers entering Canada during COVID-19

At the beginning of the week, the federal government announced that fully vaccinated travellers will be able to enter Canada and not need to quarantine. This measure, that will begin on July 5th, is part of Canada’s first phase of easing border measures.
In this article we’ll tell you the steps to follow if you are a fully vaccinated traveller and want to travel to Canada.
• Pre-border
• ArriveCAN
• At the border
• After entry
First you need to know if you are eligible for the eased border measures, and if your vaccines are approved by Canada. If you meet the specific requirements and have received the full series of a vaccine (14 days prior travelling), then this post applies to you.
Pre-border
In this stage you need to:
– Plan your quarantine. You need to be prepared to quarantine in case it is determined at the border that you do not meet the necessary requirements. In your plan, you’ll need to confirm that you have a suitable place where you can stay for 14 days or longer, and access to the necessities of life (water, food, medication) without leaving quarantine.
– Register for your arrival test in advance to save time at the airport.
– Within 72 hours before your arrival to Canada you need to take a COVID-19 molecular test and enter your information on ArriveCAN. The app will provide you with a receipt which you must present upon arrival.
– Have your ArriveCAN receipt and test result ready. The proof of vaccination must be in English or French, otherwise, you will need a certified translation.

What you need to enter into ArriveCAN:
As a traveller, you must use ArriveCAN to add your: contact & travel information, 14-day travel history, quarantine plan, confirmation of a negative pre-entry test (or positive test taken 14-90 days prior to travel), proof of vaccination, and COVID-19 symptom self-assessment.
At the border:
This part it is not too difficult. You just have to provide all the information that you collected before, including proof of vaccination, if requested. You also need to:
– Answer all eligibility, vaccination, and health screening questions.
– Complete your arrival test on-site if services are available. Otherwise, collect a home test kit to use when you arrive at your destination.
– If you have symptoms or do not meet the exemption requirements, you need to follow the instructions provided by the government representative at the border.
Remember! The final decision on who gets to enter Canada rests with the border official. Preparing in advance can prevent unwanted surprises.
After entry
If you meet all the entry requirements and are fully vaccinated, you are exempt from:
– Quarantine
– Government-authorized hotel stay (air travellers)
– Day 8 test
If you got a home test kit, you need to complete it and send it to the lab. If your arrival test is positive, you must follow the instructions of your local public health authority, including quarantine or isolation.
Important:
– Keep your proof of vaccination.
– Foreign nationals who are not eligible for entry under the current Orders in Council will continue to be denied entry to Canada. This means, fully vaccinated or not, foreign nationals cannot enter for discretionary (non-essential) travel.
– The Government of Canada is extending the temporary travel restrictions on discretionary (non-essential) international travel, including the US, until July 21, 2021,11:59 p.m. EDT.

Government of Canada's first phase to easing border measures for travellers entering Canada

From: Public Health Agency of Canada

June 21, 2021 | Ottawa | Public Health Agency of Canada
The Government of Canada is taking a responsible, precautionary approach at the border by continually monitoring available data and scientific evidence to protect the health and safety of Canadians.

Today, the Government of Canada is announcing the details of the first phase of its approach to easing border measures for travellers entering Canada. These cautious adjustments are now possible because of the successes of the vaccine roll out in Canada and Canadians following public health measures.

Beginning July 5, 2021 at 11:59 p.m. EDT, fully vaccinated travellers who are permitted to enter Canada will not be subject to the federal requirement to quarantine or take a COVID-19 test on day-8. In addition, fully vaccinated travellers arriving by air will not be required to stay at a government-authorized hotel.

To be considered fully vaccinated, a traveller must have received the full series of a vaccine — or combination of vaccines — accepted by the Government of Canada at least 14 days prior to entering Canada. Currently, those vaccines are manufactured by Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca/COVISHIELD, and Janssen (Johnson & Johnson). Travellers can receive their vaccine in any country, and must provide documentation supporting their vaccination in English, French or with a certified translation.
For these new measures to apply to them, fully vaccinated travellers must still meet all other mandatory requirements, including pre- and on-arrival testing. Continued testing will allow public health experts to keep monitoring positivity rates at the border, monitor for variants of concern, and make further adjustments to border measures as needed.
Fully vaccinated travellers must also be asymptomatic, have a paper or digital copy of their vaccination documentation, and provide COVID-19-related information electronically through ArriveCAN prior to arrival in Canada. They must still present a suitable quarantine plan, and be prepared to quarantine, in case it is determined at the border that they do not meet all of the conditions required to be exempt from quarantine. As with all other exempt travellers, they will be required to follow public health measures in place, such as wearing a mask when in public, keep a copy of their vaccine and test results, as well as a list of close contacts for 14 days after entry to Canada.

For travellers who are not fully vaccinated, there are no changes to Canada’s current border measures. They must continue to adhere to the current testing and federal quarantine requirements, which have been effective in reducing importation and transmission of COVID-19 and variants in Canada, and provide COVID-19-related information electronically through ArriveCAN before arriving in Canada. Unvaccinated air travellers must also book a three-night stay at a government-authorized hotel before their departure to Canada.

The Government of Canada’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to prioritize the health and safety of Canadians. As vaccination, case counts and hospitalization rates evolve, the Government of Canada will continue to consider further targeted measures at the borders—and when to lift or adjust them—to keep Canadians safe and the economy running.

Extension of public policy allowing visitors to apply for work permits inside 🇨🇦 Canada 🇨🇦 during the COVID-19 pandemic

Ottawa, March 29, 2021—A temporary public policy that allows visitors to apply for and receive a work permit without having to leave Canada will be extended to August 31, 2021. The criteria will also be modified to allow any visitor who has a valid job offer to apply for an employer-specific work permit, regardless of the date they initially entered Canada.

Effective April 1, 2021, an applicant looking to benefit from this temporary public policy must

-have valid status in Canada as a visitor on the day they apply
-have remained in Canada with valid status
-have a valid job offer
-submit an in-Canada application for an employer-specific work permit that is supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or an LMIA-exempt offer of employment, no later than August 31, 2021
-meet all other standard admissibility criteria

This temporary public policy also provides the opportunity for applicants who meet these criteria and who had a valid work permit in the past 12 months to begin working for their new employer before their work permit application has been fully approved.

More than 1,000 people with visitor status have applied for a work permit through this public policy since it was launched in August 2020.

Since March 2020, visitors have been prohibited from coming to Canada unless they are exempt for a specific reason, like reuniting with a family member.
