Canadian Travel Requirements
Travel into Canada continues to be regulated (see our
previous post with details) and the monthly extension of
restrictions remains without any end in sight.
In late December 2020 the federal government announced a new
measure to be enforced as of January 7, 2021. Now any and all
travelers over the age of 5 entering Canada must show a negative
COVID-19 test result before boarding a flight to Canada. The
test must have been administered no more than 72 hours from the
time of the scheduled departure. Further, the negative test
does not eliminate the 14 day quarantine requirement.
The COVID-19 test obligation and other travel restrictions have
been implemented with at least one week's notice to the public
prior to enforcement. Moving forward this may not be the
case. Prime Minister Trudeau warned earlier this week that
Canada may impose new travel restrictions without notice in the
coming months. Any new restrictions will be put in
