Starting from October 1, 2022, all passengers will no longer be required to wear masks when taking planes or trains, but it is still strongly recommended to wear high-quality masks of appropriate size during international travel.
The Canadian government reminds travelers who have symptoms of COVID-19 should not travel. If symptoms appear during the journey and the symptoms do not disappear when arriving in Canada, passengers should notify flight attendants, cruise staff or border officers upon arrival, and may then hand them over to the quarantine officer to confirm whether the passenger needs further COVID-19 medical assessment.
ArriveCAN is no longer required to submit personal information such as vaccination before entering the country. Passengers can still use the optional function in ArriveCAN, Advance Declaration, to complete early declaration, to improve entry efficiency.
How to quickly declare customs in Canada when entering Canada?
electronic declaration in advance. Since the beginning of the epidemic in 2020, with the changes in the epidemic, Canada has taken different border restrictions at different stages.
Previously, with the relaxation of entry requirements, if you enter Canada as a visitor with a student visa, work visa, tourist visa, etc., except for a few special exemptions, the condition for entering Canada is to be fully vaccinated.
For Canadian citizens and permanent residents, if they are not fully vaccinated, they can still enter Canada, but they need to complete 14-day quarantine and nucleic acid testing after entering the country. These entry policies will expire at the end of September, and last week's news revealed that the federal government plans to no longer continue the policy.
This time Canada decided to lift entry restrictions, considering various comprehensive factors, including the model showing that Canada has basically passed the peak period of Omikron BA.4 and BA.5, Canada's high vaccination rate, low hospitalization rate and mortality rate, plus many reasons such as enhanced shots of the new crown vaccine, rapid testing methods, and the availability of treatment methods.
The new crown epidemic has not ended yet, and new cases, or new variants in the fall may still appear. Therefore, the Canadian government encourages Canadians to get vaccinated, strengthen immunity, and use appropriate masks under appropriate circumstances. If symptoms appear, consciously self-isolate and test, and continue to do their part to protect themselves and others and reduce the spread of the epidemic.
For Canadians who have not been fully vaccinated, Canada still recommends avoiding non-essential travel. It is recommended that when traveling to other countries, you should be fully vaccinated and vaccinated with enhanced shots at least 14 days before departure, and understand and comply with the epidemic prevention requirements of the destination country.
