Yes, I completely agree that's the case, in terms of permanent family reunification, as well as temporary family reunification for people who are wanting to join their Canadian citizen spouses from other countries or travel with their Canadian citizen spouses from other countries.
In the early days of the pandemic, those Canadian citizen spouses were not able to have their foreign national family members come into Canada. It wasn't until a Federal Court lawsuit happened that people were finally allowed to come in and orders in council were changed for family reunification.
During COVID, our clients are seeing barriers every step of the way in terms of being able to join their families, and to not only being reunited but to being together while the family is travelling as a family unit.
