The Government of Canada has announced measures aimed at easing
current border measures for travelers entering Canada. Beginning
July 5, 2021 at 11:59 p.m. EDT, fully vaccinated travelers who are
permitted to enter Canada will not be required to quarantine or
take a COVID-19 test on day-8 of arrival. In addition, fully
vaccinated travelers arriving by air will not be required to stay
at a government approved hotel.
In order to be considered fully vaccinated, a traveler must have
received the full series of a vaccine (or combination of vaccines)
accepted by the Government of Canada at least 14 days prior to
entering Canada. Currently, those vaccines are the Pfizer, Moderna,
AstraZeneca/COVISHIELD, and Janssen (Johnson & Johnson)
vaccines. Travelers can receive their vaccine in any country, and
must provide documentation supporting their vaccination in either
English, French or with a certified translation.
