What is the current policy?

Canada has made a name for itself as a welcoming destination, especially since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau came into office in 2015.
During his term in office, Canada has taken in tens of thousands of Syrian refugees.
It has also looked to attract skilled migrants to boost the country’s workforce, faced with an ageing population and a declining birth rate.
Under Mr Trudeau, the number of migrants entering Canada has risen to around 300,000 per year, with the average for the previous decade at around 250,000 per year, according to the national statistics office.
The PPC is campaigning for tighter controls on immigration.
Its leader Mr Bernier holds the party’s only seat in parliament and he’s facing a battle holding on to it in the forthcoming poll.

Canada closed borders to anyone who is not a citizen or a permanent resident, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced.
The new measure to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus in Canada does not include US citizens.
Additionally, air operators will be “formally mandated’ to prevent symptomatic travellers from boarding flights to Canada, Mr Trudeau said.
The prime minister said he has informed G7 partners of the new rules.
Only four Canadian airports – in Montreal, Toronto, Calgary, and Vancouver – will be accepting international flights beginning Wednesday.
“As the virus continues its spread, we’ve decided to take increasingly aggressive steps to keep you and your families safe,” Mr Trudeau said.
Mr Trudeau said these “far reaching” measures will help save lives.
