Find out if you can travel to Canada – Foreign vaccinated

Based on your answers, you will likely be allowed to enter Canada; however, the final determination will be made by a government official at the port of entry.

What you need to do next

To enter, you need to qualify as a fully vaccinated traveller:

• To qualify, follow the checklist of what you need to have ready at the border
• your ArriveCAN receipt must have the letter I, V, or A beside your name
• Follow the requirements for children accompanying you
• Unless you are a citizen of the United States, find out if you need a visa or Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA)

Upon your entry, the border services officer may notify you that you’ve been randomly selected for a mandatory arrival test:

• you may be exempt from being selected for arrival testing if you bring valid proof of a prior positive molecular test result, taken at least 10 calendar days and no more than 180 calendar days before entering Canada.

You may also qualify for the exemption from randomized arrival testing if the purpose of your travel is related to these and other special situations:

• frequent cross-border services
• essential services, trade and transportation
• medical support or treatment
