Canada
Travel restrictions
Fully vaccinated travelers, including those engaging in non-essential travel (travel for tourism or recreation), may enter Canada.
Starting October 1st 2022, all COVID-19 border requirements, including vaccination, mandatory use of ArriveCAN, and any testing and quarantine/isolation requirements will end for all travelers entering Canada by land, air or sea.
As of April 1st 2022, fully vaccinated travelers do not need to provide a pre-entry COVID-19 test result to enter Canada by air, land, or water.
Fully vaccinated travelers may be required to take an on-arrival COVID-19 test. Fully vaccinated travelers who are permitted to enter Canada may be subject to federal requirements to quarantine while they await the results of their on arrival test.
Fully vaccinated travelers who are permitted to enter Canada are generally not subject to the federal requirement to quarantine or take a COVID-19 test towards the end of quarantine.
All travelers must use the ArriveCAN system to enter their traveler information, including proof of vaccination, before arriving in Canada.
All passengers on flights departing or arriving at Canadian airports are required to wear a non-medical mask or face covering that covers their mouth and nose.

Measures taken by the government
Essential services in the country remain generally available, but some provinces continue to limit discretionary activities, such as visits to restaurants, bars, gyms, and retail shops, to individuals who can provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination.
Testing
COVID-19 testing is available throughout Canada for medical purposes. Testing programs are administered by provincial and territorial health authorities. In some provinces and territories, you can also obtain testing for travel purposes directly from the health authorities, while in others you must pay a private facility.
Costs for private testing for travel purposes vary widely and can exceed $300.
