What are the new measures for air travellers?
Air travellers to Canada must take the following measures (exceptions apply):
- Travel to Canada only if you are exempt from travel restrictions (e.g. certain Canadians’ family members).
- Install ArriveCAN.
- Book an approved quarantine hotel room for three nights before your departure.
- Register the proof of booking in ArriveCAN
- Take a COVID-19 molecular test in less than 72 hours before arrival in Canada. Do not take a rapid test!
- Have a 14-day quarantine plan in place and register it in ArriveCAN.
- Travel to Canada only if you have taken all the previous steps and your COVID-19 test is negative.
- At the time of arrival, give another COVID-19 molecular test at the airport.
- Stay at the quarantine hotel for three days.
- Complete your 14-day self-isolation either in the same hotel or elsewhere.
Of course, if you take all these steps and your airport-COVID-19-test is also negative, then you may step out of quarantine.
