ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR RE-ENTRY INTO CANADA
February 16, 2021
Effective February 22, 2021, in addition to providing a negative pre-departure COVID-19 test, all customers arriving in Canada must take two COVID-19 molecular tests - one on arrival at the airport and one as part of an at-home test kit to be completed later in the quarantine period. Before traveling to Canada, you must also book and pay for a three-night stay in a government-authorized accommodation where you will remain until receiving the results from your first test. The list of government-authorized accommodations will be made available by the Government of Canada on February 18, 2021.
If you are connecting to another destination within Canada, note that you must take your test on arrival and complete the mandatory hotel stay at your first point of entry into Canada. If you receive a negative test result, you can continue to your final destination within Canada and complete the remainder of your quarantine there. If the results of the first test are positive, you will be moved to a federal designated quarantine facility to complete the balance of your quarantine.
It is your responsibility to ensure that you make the suitable hotel arrangements, prior to arrival, for your stay while awaiting the results of the first test results, in addition to ensuring that you - and any child travelling with you – have all the valid travel documents required for re-entry into Canada. Make sure to visit our Before You Go page for guidance on what to do before your return flight and upon your arrival in Canada.
