Fully vaxxed tourists can travel to Canada from August 2021

 Canada reopening border to fully vaccinated tourists

Canada is going ahead with reopening its border to tourists who are fully vaccinated. Here’s a summary of the updates regarding travel to Canada.

  • US tourists who are fully vaccinated can enter Canada from August 9, 2021.
  • Fully vaccinated children of Canadians and other travelers who are exempt will have amended quarantine from August 9, 2021.
  • The policy of quarantine at hotels will end on August 9, 2021.
  • Tourists who are fully vaccinated, coming from any country can travel to Canada from September 7, 2021.
  • More airports will accept international flights.

All this is possible now because Canada has brought the COVID-19 situation under control. Backed by that success, Canada is now in a position to accept citizens of the US and permanent residents arriving from the US from August 9, 2021.

What does the new rule mean to travelers?

With the new rule in action, travelers who are fully vaccinated won’t have to do on-arrival as well as the 8-day testing. However, they may have to go through random testing at the border.

Who’s “fully vaccinated”?

The following criteria apply to travelers to be considered fully vaccinated.

  • They must have the recommended dosage of a vaccine that has received approval in Canada.
  • The final vaccination must have been received by the traveler at least 14 days before entering Canada.
  • The vaccines that Canada currently accepts include:
    • Pfizer
    • Astra Zeneca
    • Janssen
    • Moderna
  • Results of vaccination must be presented in the English or French language. In any other case, Canadian officials at the border will need to see a certified translation.
  • All documents have to be submitted to the ArriveCan website or app.

In any case, travelers who travel to Canada are required to have a quarantine plan for 14 days. Read More
