Do you have to be vaccinated to enter Canada?
Canada does not currently require vaccinations for entry into the country. However, other countries may have their own requirements for entry, so it is important to check the entry requirements of the country you are travelling to in advance.
If you have symptoms of COVID-19, you shouldn’t travel to Canada. If you feel sick or experience any symptoms of COVID-19 during your travel to Canada or upon arrival, you should: inform the flight attendant, cruise staff or a border services officer upon arrival.
Can I travel to the US from Canada if I’m fully vaccinated
This is a great step towards keeping everyone safe from the pandemic. It is important that everyone gets vaccinated so that we can all return to some sense of normalcy. I encourage everyone to get vaccinated when they are eligible so that we can all travel safely again.
American citizens, including American-Canadian citizens, must carry proper identification and meet the basic requirements to enter Canada. You do not need a Canadian passport, a Canadian visa or an eTA to enter Canada if you are travelling with a valid US passport.
What is required to cross the border into Canada?
A passport is the best form of identification to have when travelling internationally as it is universally accepted. However, if you cannot get a passport, then you will need to carry other forms of identification such as a birth certificate or driver’s license. You may also need a visa to enter Canada, so be sure to check with the Canadian embassy beforehand.
There are no entry requirements for US citizens related to COVID-19. A negative COVID-19 test is not required for entry.
Do I need a Covid test to enter Canada?
With the current pandemic situation, all travellers coming from any country other than the US should be prepared to take an arrival test and quarantine at a suitable place until they receive a negative Day 1 test result. This is to ensure the safety of everyone and to prevent the spread of the virus.
The Canadian COVID-19 proof of vaccination is a reliable way for Canadians to show their COVID-19 vaccination history when they travel. All travellers who are symptomatic of COVID-19, regardless of citizenship or vaccination status, will not be allowed to fly.
Do you need to be fully vaccinated to enter the US
Dear travelers,
Please be aware that all non-US citizens and non-US immigrants travelling to the United States by air are required to show proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19. We advise you to get your vaccine and travel documents in order to avoid any issues at the airport.
Thank you for your cooperation.
If you are arriving in Canada and are symptomatic, you may be referred to a designated quarantine facility by a quarantine officer. This is to help prevent the spread of illness and keep everyone safe. Make sure to follow all instructions from the quarantine officer to ensure a smooth and safe experience for all.

As of April 13, 2021, if you are not fully vaccinated against COVID-19, you will NOT be allowed to board a flight to the United States, unless you meet the criteria for an exception under the Proclamation and CDC’s Amended Order. Unless you qualify for an exception, get vaccinated before you book your flight.
