Beginning April 1, Canada is changing entry requirements for fully vaccinated travellers by scrapping mandatory testing. Some rules still apply, we have them broken down for you below.
Fully-vaccinated travellers do not need to provide a pre-entry COVID-19 test result.
Some travellers will be randomly selected for testing, but they will no longer be required to quarantine while waiting for test results.

For non-vaccinated or partially vaccinated, requirements stay the same
- They must provide proof of an accepted type of pre-entry COVID test unless they are exempt.
- These include a negative antigen test, a valid negative molecular test, or a previous positive molecular test.
- Unless otherwise exempt, all travellers eligible to enter Canada who do not qualify as fully vaccinated will continue to be tested with COVID-19 molecular tests on arrival and on Day 8, while they quarantine for 14 days.
All travellers continue to be required to submit their mandatory information in ArriveCAN
