The Government of Canada has announced that it will remove all COVID-related entry restrictions from the beginning of October.
As of October 1, travellers will no longer have to submit public health information through the ArriveCAN app or website, provide proof of vaccination, or undergo pre- or on-arrival testing. COVID-related quarantine or isolation will be discontinued.
Transport Canada will remove its COVID requirements from the same date. Travellers will not need to undergo health checks for travel by air and rail or wear masks on aircraft and trains.
Cruise measures will also be lifted, with travellers no longer having to take a pre-boarding test, be vaccinated, or use ArriveCAN. However, certain guidelines, which will align with the approach used in the United States, will remain in place to protect passengers and crew.
