Canada border restrictions
Canada border restrictions lifted for those fully inoculated by Canadian approved vaccines
Ottawa/IBNS: Canadians and permanent residents who have been fully vaccinated by doses of a COVID-19 vaccines approved for use in Canada are now able to forgo the 14-day quarantine, a requirement that has been in place since March of last year.
These air travelers would also be exempted from the federal government's requirement to stay in a government-approved hotel.
But those not fully vaccinated would still be required to undergo a 14-day quarantine.
Travellers eligible for fully vaccinated exemption would still be required to submit electronically COVID-19-related information to the government's ArriveCAN app before arriving, meet the pre-and on-arrival test requirements, be asymptomatic, and have a suitable quarantine plan.
Although the travel restrictions between Canada and the United States for non-essential trips, including tourism, are due to expire on July 21, Justin Trudeau, Canada's Prime Minister said in a news conference last week that it was too soon to say how the rules might change by then.
"When we start reopening so Americans and others who are fully vaccinated can come into Canada will depend on how this goes — on the data we collect, on how we're able to keep Canadians safe even as we make adjustments to the rules," Trudeau said last week.
