The Global Pandemic of Coronavirus (COVID-19) has caused slowdowns for some immigration applicants. Travel restrictions certainly have a large impact on many people who can’t travel to Canada right now. These restrictions stop most non-essential (discretionary) travel to Canada.

People that are travelling by air, need to follow all airline requirements and pass a health check conducted by airlines before being allowed to board the flight. Anyone who shows symptoms of COVID-19 will not be allowed to enter Canada by air.

When people arrive in Canada, their health is assessed before they leave the port of entry. You must have a plan to quarantine for 14 days when you arrive in Canada. This is mandatory, even if you have no symptoms. The idea is that if you don’t have a plan, you should not travel to Canada.

Certain people are exempt from the quarantine requirements. For example, people who provide essential services, such as truck drivers who regularly cross the border to maintain the flow of goods, are exempt from the quarantine requirements.

There is no cost to completing an Express Entry profile. If you are issued an ITA and submit a full application you will be required to pay a $550 application fee. If granted PR, you will have to pay a $490 Right of Permanent Residence Fee. Additional fees are required if you are applying with family members.

The taxes seem to be higher in Canada than in the USA.

Personal Income Tax Rate in Canada averaged 29.75 percent from 2003 until 2018, reaching an all time high of 33 percent in 2016 and a record low of 29 percent in 2004.

In the United States, the average single worker faced a net average tax rate of 24.0% in 2019, compared with the OECD average of 25.9%. In other words, in the United States the take-home pay of an average single worker, after tax and benefits, was 76.0% of their gross wage, compared with the OECD average of 74.1%.

There is a reason to come to Canada - the high quality of life. If you come to Canada as a skilled immigrant, you will benefit from world-class education and high quality of life.

Geese and seagulls wait for food

Geese and seagulls wait for food at the parking lot. They sure block cars from parking there. Someone threw something yellow or orange to the birds. Good luck, birds, getting food. Canada Geese like to walk around everywhere near cars.

Geese block cars at intersection

Geese block cars at intersection. Cars try to drive through geese. Eventually, a person needed to scare off geese, so that cars could pass through. This Canada Goose incident resulted in blocking of car traffic. Geese are like annoying pedestrians, sometimes. Canada Geese sometimes appear to be the only pedestrians that have the right of way anywhere in Toronto.

Geese at intersection near stop sign

Geese at intersection near stop sign. The geese are blocking the road here, as usual. It's just another example of road traffic blocked by Canada geese. A person usually has to tell the geese to move, so that cars can pass through. Geese often just stand and don't move anywhere.

Skunk near fence in Toronto

Skunks are interesting North and South American mammals in the family Mephitidae. While related to polecats and other members of the weasel family, skunks have as their closest Old World relatives the stink badgers. The fascinating animals are known for their ability to spray a liquid with a strong, weird and unpleasant smell.

There are certain Skunk Control companies in Toronto. All Skunks are Humanely Removed. Skunk Removal Services sometimes are needed. Skunks can be removed from places, like: Attic, Chimney, Roof and fenced areas.

The City of Toronto's Animal Services department does not keep track of mere sightings of skunks but more serious skunk incidents are recorded.

They are beautiful animals to look at. You might mistake it for a cat.

Canada Geese tried to cross road traffic

Funny fantastic Canada Geese tried to cross road traffic. People told the geese to go back to the green grass area. Geese should not be on the road where cars are driving fast. Geese were blocking car traffic and acting weird.

Geese crowd in the rain

The rain was really pouring down heavily on this day. Geese sure eat green grass in the rain. Geese walked slowly and sometimes shakes off wet water. A goose might slip and fall on slippery surfaces, they walk carefully. It is sure harder to fly in the rain.
