Effective February 28, fully vaccinated travellers can come to Canada with unvaccinated children without having to quarantine. Also, if fully vaccinated travellers are selected for a random on-arrival test, they will no longer have to quarantine while waiting on results.
Unvaccinated travellers will continue to be required to test on arrival, on Day 8 and quarantine for 14 days.
Travellers will now have the option of using a COVID-19 rapid antigen test result taken no more than 24 hours before arriving at the border, or their scheduled flight) or a molecular test result (taken no more than 72 hours before their scheduled flight or arrival at the land border or marine port of entry) to meet pre-entry requirements
Taking a rapid antigen test at home is not sufficient to meet the pre-entry requirement – it must be authorized by the country in which it was purchased and must be administered by a laboratory, healthcare entity or telehealth service.
Travellers will still need to upload documents via the ArriveCAN app before crossing the border.
Canada will adjust its travel advisory from Level 3 to Level 2, meaning that the government no longer recommends Canadian nationals avoid travel for non-essential purposes. However, the minister still urged Canadians to understand the risks associated with visiting certain countries given the high incidence of Omicron, and take necessary precautions.
The Honourable Jean-Yves Duclos, Minister of Health, said that these measures are temporary and may be adjusted as the COVID-19 situation changes. He suggested that if hospitalization rates decline in the near future, further easing of restrictions may follow.
Meanwhile, provincial governments are rolling back COVID-19 measures and undoing vaccine passport requirements. The health ministry in Ontario has moved their timeline to improve public health measures. Quebec, Alberta, and Saskatchewan have also announced plans to roll back restrictions.
