Canada is Welcoming Back International Travellers: New Border Measures

The Government of Canada has re-opened Canadian borders to fully vaccinated international travellers who meet entry requirements on September 7, 2021. While travel will look a little different, and additional pre-travel planning is needed, this is a significant milestone for the Canadian tourism and business events sectors.

As we all plan ahead for what we hope will be a prosperous autumn and beyond, we wanted to share links to the latest Government processes and protocols for travellers looking to visit Canada.
New Measures for Fully Vaccinated International Travellers to Canada

From September 7, 2021, fully vaccinated foreign nationals are eligible to enter Canada for discretionary (non-essential) reasons, such as tourism; however, these individuals must:

• be fully vaccinated: a traveller must have received, and show proof of, the full series of a vaccine — or combination of vaccines — accepted by the Government of Canada at least 14 days prior to entering Canada. Currently, those vaccines are manufactured by Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, AstraZeneca/COVISHIELD, and Janssen (Johnson & Johnson).
• have a valid pre-arrival COVID-19 molecular test result taken no more than 72 hours before their scheduled flight or their arrival at the land border crossing, or a previous positive test result taken between 14 and 180 days before departure to Canada. Antigen tests, often called “rapid tests” are not accepted;
• be asymptomatic;
• submit their mandatory information via ArriveCAN (App or website), including proof of vaccination in English or French and a quarantine plan;
• be admissible under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act; and,
• take a test on arrival, if selected.
