The Government of Canada has announced that all
arriving air travellers five years of age and older will need to
provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test before arriving in
Canada from another country. Travellers will need to receive a
negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test within 72 hours
before the traveller's scheduled departure to Canada.
Documentation showing a negative test must be presented to the
airline prior to boarding a flight to Canada. Airlines will be
required to refuse boarding to travellers who are unable to present
a valid negative test result.
If travellers are arriving from a country where the required
testing is unavailable, they will be required to report to a
designated Public Health Agency of Canada quarantine facility for
the duration of the mandatory 14-day quarantine.
