We would like to inform you about the upcoming
changes at the Border

th
As of this coming Monday August 9 .

▪ Fully vaccinated American citizens and permanent residents, currently
residing in the U.S. for discretionary or non-essential travel will be allowed to
enter Canada without the requirement to quarantine. (Border measures remain the same
for non-essential travel from all other countries.)
▪ All travellers, regardless of vaccination status, will still require a pre-entry
COVID-19 molecular test result. However, fully vaccinated travellers will not need
a post-arrival test on day 1 or on day 8. (There are no changes to the mandatory testing
requirements for unvaccinated travellers.)
▪ Travellers to the U.S. can take that test before leaving Canada as long as they're
in the U.S. for less than 72 hours.
▪ Unvaccinated children under 12 years of age of fully vaccinated travellers
eligible for entry to Canada will be exempted from quarantine.
▪ The three-night government authorized hotel stay requirement will be
eliminated for all travellers arriving by air.

To be considered fully vaccinated, you must:
✓ have received the full vaccination series of a vaccine accepted by the Government of
Canada at least 14 days prior to entering Canada
✓ be asymptomatic
✓ upload your proof of vaccination in ArriveCAN (If you don't provide the required information
in ArriveCAN before arriving at the border you won't be considered for the exemption, even if you meet all
the other requirements.)
✓ have a paper or digital copy of their vaccination documentation in English or French
Accepted vaccines:
▪ Pfizer (Comirnaty, tozinameran, BNT162b2) – two doses
▪ Moderna (mRNA-1273) – two doses
▪ AstraZeneca (Vaxzevria, AZD1222, Covishield) – two doses
▪ Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) - single dose
On September 7, 2021, provided that the domestic epidemiologic situation remains
favourable, the Government intends to open Canada’s borders to any fully vaccinated
travellers from around the world
Until 12:00 am ET on August 9, 2021, there is no change at the border.
