What Are the Travel Restrictions in Canada?

Can you travel to Canada during the coronavirus disease pandemic? 

Visitors from the USA, Europe and other countries who qualify as fully vaccinated travellers, can enter Canada for discretionary travel.

Fully vaccinated travellers do not have to quarantine upon arrival in Canada, but will have to get tested ahead and present a suitable quarantine plan in case quarantine is required. All adequately vaccinated travelers entering Canada must use the ArriveCAN app and provide their information up to 72 hours before arriving. We invite you to make sure you are eligible to enter Canada and meet specific criteria. 

Do I have to quarantine if I travel within Canada? 

There are no isolation measures for people arriving from other Canadian provinces.
