Quick Facts
- Before heading to the border, travellers should inform themselves and fully understand their obligations by ensuring their eligibility to enter Canada and reviewing the COVID-19 vaccinated travellers entering Canada Web page.
- Travellers eligible to enter Canada continue to be required to have a negative pre-arrival COVID-19 molecular test result taken no more than 72 hours before arriving in Canada or a previous positive test result taken between 14 and 180 days before departure to Canada. They must provide proof of their test result to a Government of Canada official at the border. Antigen tests, often called "rapid tests", are not accepted.
- Fully vaccinated travellers must submit their mandatory information including their digital proof of vaccination in English or French using ArriveCAN (mobile app or by signing in online) within 72 hours before arriving at the border (or when entering Canada by marine mode).
- Discretionary (non-essential) travel by individuals from countries other than the U.S., including for those who are fully vaccinated, remains prohibited. There is also no changes to testing and quarantine requirements for other travellers who are not fully vaccinated but eligible to enter Canada such as those entering by right.
- All other Airports of Entry and small vessel reporting sites that have been temporarily suspended remain closed to ensure the CBSA's operational flexibility while continuing to support the Government of Canada's efforts to reduce the risk of COVID-19 to Canadians.
- While Canada is moving forward with these measures, it's important to note that U.S. border restrictions remain in place for non-essential travel at this time. For information about U.S. requirements, please contact U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
