Here Are Current Travel Requirements For Canada!

Pre-entry tests will no longer be required for fully vaccinated travellers entering Canada by land, air or water w.e.f. mid-night (April 1, 2022). However, a lot of travellers still have confusion regarding current requirements or exemptions for traveling to Canada. So, this article enlists travel requirements for non-exempted travellers.

Following are the mandatory requirements for all the travellers including Visitors, Tourists and Foreign Workers

1. Upload proof of vaccination in ArriveCan mobile app or on computer. Click here for list of approved vaccines by Canada.
2. Enter your quarantine plan and travel information in ArriveCan. All the fully vaccinated travellers need the quarantine plan just in case you are directed to isolate on-arrival.
3. On arrival randomized COVID test. This means that you might be selected by airport authorities to get tested after arriving in Canada. However, you can travel to your destination without waiting for the test result.

Furthermore, to get an ArriveCAN receipt, then submit your travel and quarantine plan information within 72 hours before your arrival to Canada.

Also, if you recovered from COVID recently, still you need to be fully vaccinated with approved vaccines to enter Canada. Otherwise, you will be denied entry to Canada. However, you will be exempt from on arrival randomized testing.

International Students

In addition to above mentioned requirements, international students 18 years of age or older need to bring following while travelling to Canada.

• a valid study permit, or a port of entry letter of introduction that shows you were approved for a study permit
• a valid letter of acceptance from the DLI you’re enrolled in
• proof that you have enough money to support yourself and any family members who come with you to Canada

If you’re a minor student (under 18 years of age), then you don’t have to qualify as a fully vaccinated traveller. So, Minor children need a valid passport or travel document to come to Canada, but they may not need a study permit.
