In June 2022, the government of Canada temporarily suspended
random COVID testing for arriving passengers at Canadian
airports.
As of Tuesday, July 19, the government reinstituted such random
testing for arrivals in Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver, and Montreal.
However, testing will be done at designated off-site testing
facilities and must be completed by the traveler within one day of
their arrival in Canada. No quarantine is required while awaiting
test results. For those testing positive, quarantine may then be
required. For connecting travelers, the test may be done at an
applicable facility at their final destination, or through a
virtual self-swab appointment.
This does not change any other aspect of Canadian COVID-related
requirements, including rules relating to unvaccinated travelers,
and the need to use the ArriveCAN app.
