Entering Canada from September 7 2021

The Canadian government has announced that the border will open to international tourists from September 7 2021*. However, it is important to note that changes have been made that will impact your trip; 

To enter Canada, all passengers aged 12 or over MUST be fully vaccinated with a Canadian government approved vaccine (AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson). In order to be considered fully vaccinated, you must have received your final dose at least 14 days before you travel to Canada.  

All visitors must have a quarantine plan, where they would be able to isolate in the event of a positive test. It is recommended that this be your first hotel, which we will help to arrange for you. In the event of a positive test, the traveller would be responsible for payment of the quarantine accommodation. 

Testing on arrival in Canada will no longer be mandatory but random tests may be carried out at any Canadian airport. If you are tested, you can continue onto your first accommodation and will be contacted if you test positive. At this point, your quarnatine plan would be enacted. 

Children under the age of 12 who are not vaccinated are permitted to travel with vaccinated parents or guardians. Unvaccinated children aged 5-11 will be subject to testing on days 1 and 8 of their holiday. They will not be required to isolate unless they test positive, when the quarantine plan would be enacted. 

You must have proof of a negative PCR test, taken within 72 hours of your arrival to Canada. 

You must upload your information to the ArriveCAN app or web portal within 72 hours of your arrival into Canada. You will be required to enter proof of your vaccination status (this can be obtained through the NHS app if you were vaccinated in the UK), PCR test results and your quarantine plan. 

In order to return to the UK, vaccinated passengers will need to take an antigen test within 3 days of your return to the UK (many companies offer the chance to purchase these tests before you leave the UK and take them with you so you do not need to source this in Canada). 

You will also need to take a PCR within 2 days of your return to the UK.
