The Government of Canada has expanded restrictions for international travel, effective Feb. 22, including:

  • Travellers entering Canada by air will be required to take a COVID-19 test before leaving the airport to spend 3 nights in quarantine at a federal government-authorized hotel, which the traveller must pre-book and pay for, while awaiting test results. With a clear test result, travellers will proceed to the quarantine site identified in their quarantine plan.
  • Travellers entering Canada by land will be required to take a COVID-19 test on arrival at the border before proceeding to the quarantine site identified in their quarantine plan.
  • All travellers will also be required to take a COVID-19 test toward the end of their 14-day quarantine.
  • International students on study permits continue to be allowed into Canada to attend designated learning institutions assessed to have appropriate measures in place with respect to the mandatory quarantine.
