Travel restrictions
As of May 1st, if you are a foreign national, you must have an essential reason to travel to Canada. This includes family members and spouses or partners of Canadians. If you do not have an essential reason to travel to Canada, a border services officer may deny your entry.
On June 8th, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced modified entry restrictions for certain immediate family members of Canadian citizens and permanent residents.
On March 18th, the United States reached a mutual agreement with Canada to restrict non-essential travel (travel that is considered tourism or recreational in nature) across our shared border. This action does not apply to air, rail, or sea travel at this time, but does apply to commuter rail and ferry travel. The current agreement runs through February 21st.
The Government of Canada has put in place emergency measures that require mandatory 14-day self-isolation for all individuals entering Canada, regardless of their current health status.
Travellers entering Canada must present a credible 14-day quarantine plan. Information on what constitutes a credible quarantine plan is available on the Public Health Agency of Canada’s website.
In addition, a number of provinces and territories have put in place specific restrictions for travel across their borders, including for domestic travelers.
Effective January 7th, 2021, all airline passengers 5 years of age or older will be required to test negative for COVID-19 when traveling from another country to Canada. The new regulation requires passengers to provide their airline with negative laboratory COVID-19 molecular polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test results taken within 72 hours of their scheduled departure to Canada.
Anyone who receives a negative PCR test result and is authorized to enter Canada must still complete the full, mandatory 14-day quarantine.
