From September 7, 2021, Canada will allow foreigners without quarantine who have completed a full course of vaccination with one of the vaccines at least 14 days before arrival:
- Pfizer-BioNTech (Comirnaty, tozinameran, BNT162b2),
- Moderna (mRNA-1273),
- AstraZeneca / COVISHIELD (ChAdOx1-S, Vaxzevria, AZD1222),
- Janssen / Johnson & Johnson (Ad26.COV2.S)
Documents confirming vaccination must be issued in English, French or have a certified translation. A combination of vaccines is accepted.
72 hours before boarding the plane, all passengers are required to submit personal information electronically through the ArriveCAN app (or website - https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/coronavirus-disease-covid -19 /arrivecan.html). It contains information about the place of stay, contact information, an assessment of the presence of symptoms of COVID-19. The presence of ArriveCAN is checked by the representatives of the Canadian Border Service directly at the border. At the same time, measures of influence (from verbal warnings to a fine of $ 1,000) may be applied to persons who did not submit information in digital form before boarding the flight. Exceptions are made for those who cannot submit documents electronically due to personal circumstances such as disability or inadequate infrastructure.
The same rules apply at land and sea checkpoints. Transit passengers whose final destination is not Canada do not need to submit their information via ArriveCAN.
All persons aged 5 years and older who plan to arrive in Canada by air must undergo a COVID-19 test before boarding international flights (! Including fully vaccinated ones). In particular, it is necessary to demonstrate a negative PCR test in electronic or printed form, made 72 hours before arrival in the country (indicated by the controlled air carriers). The certificate must contain the following information:
- Traveler's name and date of birth
- Name and address of the laboratory / clinic / institution that performed the testing
- Date of the test
- Type of test performed
- Test result
Also, the presence of such a test is checked directly during the passage of Canada's border control.
