UPDATED JUNE 12, 2022: The Government of Canada lifted its Travel Advisory for all non-essential international travel in February. As of April, proof of negative PCR test is no longer required for fully vaccinated travelers to Canada.
Proof of vaccination with a Government of Canada approved vaccine is required for foreign nationals boarding air, rail and marine vessels crossing the border, as well for those crossing land border by automobile. Unvaccinated adults who are foreign nationals are not allowed entry into Canada for the purposes of tourism.
Travelers entering Canada are required to set up account ArriveCan account and upload travel information within 72 hours of arrival or boarding.
Travelers may still be subject to random mandatory PCR testing at border crossings and airports. However, travelers who present proof of a positive molecular Covid more than 10 days and fewer than 180 days after it was administered are exempted from this.
More detailed, up-to-date information on entry regulations can be found here.
The Government of Québec ended its vaccine passport system as of mid-March. Wearing of masks and face coverings remains mandatory in most public spaces. More information on the province’s guidelines and requirements can be found here.
