Canada Entry 2023 - The latest Canadian entry restrictions, Canadian testing/isolation notices

The latest Canadian entry restriction information, vaccinated and unvaccinated people must pay attention, Canadian testing and isolation instructions! Read on for more information on Canada Entry Requirements.



The latest Canadian travel information

With the risk of virus transmission easing and the country's vaccination rate extremely high, Canada has downgraded its travel health notification from level 3 to level 2, meaning the government "no longer advises its citizens against non-essential travel." Health Minister Duclos said that if the epidemic continues to improve, further relaxation of travel restrictions may be considered in the next few weeks, which is expected to make the upcoming cruise season more optimistic.


➡️Canadian Entry Restrictions- Those who have received two doses of vaccine

Anyone who has received two doses of the vaccine can enter Canada, and as Canada relaxes entry restrictions on those who have been vaccinated, travelers do not need to be quarantined in Canada.

Upload travel documents on ArriveCAN before departure

Canadian immigrants need to use ArriveCAN to upload travel plans, including contact information, travel purposes, vaccination records, negative test certificates before departure, etc.

A negative test certificate is required before departure

All Canadians entering Canada must still have a negative test certificate "24 hours before arrival", and the latest measure is to choose to use the "rapid antigen test" or PCR nucleic acid test approved by the region. However, please note that the rapid test report needs to be purchased from a laboratory, medical institution or remote medical service institution authorized in the region, and the unaccredited "quick test at home" is invalid.

Rapid tests recognized under the Hong Kong Medical Device Administration System:

Random PCR nucleic acid detection upon arrival

Beginning on February 28, 2022, the Canadian federal government "cancelled" the requirement for PCR nucleic acid testing before arrival for fully vaccinated persons. Fully vaccinated travelers will only be "randomly" selected for PCR nucleic acid testing upon arrival, and travelers arriving from Canada will no longer be required to quarantine while awaiting test results.

Definition of Complete Vaccination:

Get a full dose of Canadian-approved vaccines 15 days before entering Canada, which can be given in any country. Download the ArriveCAN app within 72 hours before boarding the plane , fill in the vaccination information, and upload the English version of the vaccination certificate. You must also bring the vaccination certificate when entering the country.

Vaccines approved by the Canadian government:

AstraZeneca/COVISHIELD (AZ/AstraZeneca)*Two doses

Moderna*Two doses

Pfizer-BioNTech (Pfizer BNT)*Two doses

Janssen/Johnson & Johnson*One dose

Bharat Biotech (Kovaksin, India)* Two doses

Sinopharm BIBP*Two doses

➡️Canadian Entry Restrictions - Unvaccinated/only vaccinated with one dose

Those who have not been fully vaccinated must first confirm their entry qualifications if they want to enter Canada . Passengers must also undergo hotel and home quarantine after entry.

Those who have not been vaccinated or have only received one dose of vaccine can enter Canada only if they meet specific entry purposes, including studying abroad, working, as a transit, medical treatment, funeral, etc. Tourism, visitation and other reasons will not be accepted.

Upload travel documents and quarantine information on ArriveCAN before departure

Canadian immigrants need to use ArriveCAN to upload travel plans, including contact information, travel purposes, vaccination records, negative test certificates before departure, and quarantine locations (hotels and homes).

A negative test certificate is required before departure

All Canadians entering Canada must still hold a negative test certificate "24 hours before arrival". The latest measure is that they can choose to use the "rapid antigen test" or PCR nucleic acid test approved by their region. However, please note that the rapid test report needs to be purchased from a laboratory, medical institution or remote medical service institution authorized in the region, and the unaccredited "quick test at home" is invalid.

Rapid tests recognized under the Hong Kong Medical Device Administration System:

Compulsory PCR nucleic acid testing upon arrival

After arriving in Canada and entering Canada, those who have not been vaccinated must undergo PCR nucleic acid testing at the airport.

Upon arrival, self-funded hotel quarantine for 3 days, and home quarantine for 14 days

Those who have not been fully vaccinated must be quarantined in a designated hotel for three days at their own expense after undergoing a nucleic acid test at the airport, waiting for the test results. During this period, Canadian government officials may call you to check the situation, please answer truthfully.

After obtaining a negative test result for the new crown, the immigrant can leave the hotel, but still needs to continue to be quarantined for 14 days when returning home. During the home quarantine period, it is necessary to keep the vaccination certificate and use the ArriveCAN app to record the contact information of close contacts within 14 days.

Canada Quarantine Hotel Information

Passengers can make reservations for isolation hotels through the telephone//website, depending on the reservation process of individual hotels. Within 4 hours after completing the reservation, passengers will receive an email confirmation. According to passenger experience, the cost of hotel quarantine for 3 days is about 2,000 Canadian dollars, including transportation from the airport to the hotel, accommodation, meals, cleaning and disinfection, epidemic prevention, security and other expenses. Specific charges vary by individual hotel.
