To Our Valued Passenger:
The Government of Canada has updated their COVID-19 border measures for its international passengers.
Please be reminded that all arriving passengers to Canada, aged five or older, including Canadian citizens, permanent residents, and persons registered as Indian under the Indian Act, whether vaccinated or not, are required to:
- Provide a written or electronic documentation showing they received a NEGATIVE molecular COVID-19 test (RT-PCR) conducted within 72 hours prior to their initial scheduled time of departure; or
- A written or electronic documentation of a prior COVID positive test conducted between 14 – 90 days before the initial scheduled time of departure.
Proof of test must include the: traveler’s name and date of birth; name and address of the laboratory that administered the test; date the specimen was collected; test method used; and test result.
This health requirement along with other required documents must be presented upon check-in at the airport. Failure to comply with this requirement may result to non-acceptance to take the flight. Failure of Canadian Citizens and Permanent Residents to comply with this requirement may also result to a $5,000 fine or criminal prosecution.
Passengers shall also be required to:
- Take a COVID-19 test molecular test when they arrive in Canada before exiting the airport;

Effective August 09, 2021, the 3-night stay in a government-approved hotel requirement shall no longer be required for travelers arriving by air.
Travelers who provide a proof of positive test result taken between 14-90 days before departure to Canada in lieu of a negative test will be exempt from testing upon arrival and during quarantine. They must still quarantine for 14 days at a suitable place of quarantine.
Travelers that meet the definition of being fully vaccinated are exempt from the obligation to quarantine for 14 days upon arrival in Canada, and re-test on day-8. These travelers must submit their vaccination status in ArriveCAN in order to take advantage of modified requirements upon arrival. To check if you qualify for the quarantine and testing exemptions, please visit the COVID-19 vaccinated travelers entering Canada webpage.
