Starting January 7, 2021, anyone flying to Canada from another
country, aged 5 and older, will be required to provide written or
electronic documentation showing they received a negative result
from a COVID-19 test conducted within 72 hours prior to their
scheduled boarding. The test must be performed using a
COVID-19 molecular polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Persons
who are travelling from a country where PCR testing is unavailable
will be required to report to a designated Public Health Agency of
Canada quarantine facility for the duration of their mandatory
14-day quarantine. The special circumstances only apply to
countries where PCR is completely unavailable, and no allowances
will be made to accommodate processing delays.
