Coronavirus disease (COVID-19)

The Government of Canada seeks to avoid unintended adverse effects of sanctions through the use of humanitarian exemptions for certain activities. Please consult the relevant regulations to determine if any prohibitions or exceptions apply to your intended activity. 

To help with a global response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Global Affairs Canada is accelerating permit and certificate applications related to the global health crisis. Applicants should include a link to this response in their application, if applicable.

Please consult Permits and Certificates for details on how to apply.
