The government of Canada has lifted all COVID-19 entry restrictions, as well as testing, quarantine, and isolation requirements for anyone entering Canada.

Effective October 1, 2022, all travellers, regardless of citizenship, will no longer have to:

• submit public health information through the ArriveCAN app or website;
• provide proof of vaccination;
• undergo pre- or on-arrival testing;
• carry out COVID-19-related quarantine or isolation;
• monitor and report if they develop signs or symptoms of COVID-19 upon arriving to Canada.

Transport Canada also removed existing travel requirements. Travellers are no longer required to:

• undergo health checks for travel on air and rail; or
• wear masks on planes and trains.

Although the masking requirement is lifted, all travellers are strongly recommended to wear high quality and well-fitted masks during their journeys.

Individuals are reminded that they should not travel if they have symptoms of COVID-19. If travellers become sick while travelling, and are still sick when they arrive in Canada, they should inform a flight attendant, cruise staff, or a border services officer upon arrival. They may then be referred to a quarantine officer who will decide whether the traveller needs further medical assessment as COVID-19 remains one of many communicable diseases listed in the Quarantine Act.

Travel requirements are subject to change and at short notice. For the most up to date information, please visit, https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/exemptions .
