Canada Easing Entry Restrictions For The Start of Spring
Canada Easing Entry Restrictions For The Start of Spring
Published : 22-Feb-2022 04:26
From 28th February Canada's entry rules are changing, with mandatory testing on arrival and quarantines being dropped from Monday.
Instead, all fully vaccinated travellers arriving to Canada (from any country) will be subject to the random arrival testing program which has been in place since Canada re-opened its borders back in August.
In further good news though, travellers who get selected for the random arrival testing will no longer have to quarantine while awaiting their test results.
In addition, all restrictions for unvaccinated children under 12 entering Canada with fully vaccinated parents/guardians are being lifted.
Pre-arrival testing is still required before you leave home, however travellers now have the option of taking a cheaper COVID-19 rapid antigen test (taken the day prior to their scheduled flight or arrival at the land border or marine port of entry) or a molecular test result (taken no more than 72 hours before arrival in Canada). Taking a home test is not sufficient to meet the pre-entry requirement, it must be authorized by the country in which it was purchased and must be administered by a laboratory, healthcare entity or telehealth service.
All international travellers entering Canada must continue to use ArriveCAN.
There are no changes to the testing and quarantine requirements for unvaccinated travellers to enter Canada.
