Travel restrictions update


As of July 5th 2021, fully vaccinated travellers who are permitted (Canadian citizens, permanent residents, temporary foreign workers, students) to enter Canada will not be required to quarantine or take a COVID-19 test on day-8.

Travellers who do not meet Canada's "fully vaccinated" requirements must continue to adhere to all current border measures and book a three-night stay at one of Canada's authorised quarantine hotels before departing from a foreign destination if arriving by air.

In order to skip quarantine, travellers must:

  1. Be fully vaccinated with one of the approved Health Canada shots: Pfizer, Moderna, Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) and AstraZeneca/COVISHIELD.
  2. Have received the last COVID-19 dose at least 14 days before coming to the border.
  3. Submit a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours before coming to the border.
  4. Upload the vaccine certificate and COVID-19 test information on the updated ArriveCAN app.
  5. Take and pass a COVID-19 test upon arrival (you are allowed to go home and wait for the results).
