Canada has removed pre-entry test requirements for fully vaccinated travellers

As of April 1, 2022, the government of Canada no longer requires fully vaccinated travellers to provide a pre-entry COVID-19 test result to enter Canada.


Fully vaccinated travellers still must provide proof of vaccination and all other mandatory information through the ArriveCAN app. Partially-vaccinated or unvaccinated travellers 5 years of age or older will have to follow pre-entry testing requirements.


Travellers, as well as returning Canadian residents who arrive in Canada without completing their ArriveCAN submission, have to test on arrival and quarantine for 2 weeks, regardless of their vaccination status.


Canadians can help reduce the spread of COVID-19 by getting vaccinated and boosted, using masks where appropriate, self-isolate if they experience symptoms, and self-test if they can. Before travellers cross the border, they should ensure that they are eligible to enter Canada and that they meet all entry requirements.


Due to the travel restrictions, some provinces and territories may have their own entry restrictions in place. Therefore, travellers must check and follow both the federal and any provincial or territorial restrictions and requirements before travelling to Canada.
