Canadian citizen residing in US, my TN visa is expiring beginning of 2021 and I need to renew it at a POE in Vancouver. I am concerned about the mandatory quarantine, I will have a 1 month old at that time and can’t afford to leave the baby for 14 days quarantining in Canada! I really only need to go there to renew visa. My current options are to:
-
Fly to Bellingham and cross land border by rental car or Uber and walk to POE for renewal, can I flagpole without quarantine?
-
Fly to YVR, book a flight returning same day and don’t leave airport, can I do that without quarantine?
-
(Very bad option) drive back (2 days each way) with my newborn, quarantine in Canada for 14 days, then apply at land border but with my newborn who will be American (will that complicate things?)
Also just to be safe I’m planning to go at least 2.5 weeks before expiry date, what’s your experience with how early you can renew at POE, esp during COVID? I just want to leave myself more leeway in case issues arise.
Also to note my company is not willing to file thru USCIS.
If you have any similar experiences or tips please help, I’m very nervous because of all this covid regulations....
