Canadian Transport Minister Omar Alghabra announced on Thursday, 17th March that starting from 1st April, fully-vaccinated travelers will be allowed to enter Canada without having to get tested for COVID-19. However, they can still be chosen for mandatory random testing which they can choose to take at the airport, or at home.
Despite relaxing health and travel restrictions, and removing the travel advisory on its official website, the Canadian government is still warning travelers to be cautious about the health risks posed during international travel.
All Canadian travelers, vaccination or unvaccinated, would still need to submit their information and quarantine plan on the ArriveCAN app prior to arrival in the country. Failure of completion of the information may cause the traveler to have to test on arrival at the airport/port of entry and undergo a mandatory quarantine for 14 days, regardless of their vaccination status. Those traveling by plane must fill in the information at least 72 hours before boarding the flight.
