Protocols for travelling to Canada from other countries
With the coming up of COVI 19, the travel industry has been facing a lot of problems as every country has its own set of rules for travel and exit of the people. Talking about Canada, it also has certain conditions when it comes to people entering the country. Mentioned below is a complete guide to travel. However, in case you still have a doubt you can get in touch with Immigration Consultant Canada.
- American citizens and permanent residents of the United States who are fully vaccinated and can travel from the United States of America and enter the country from 9th August. The candidate must provide all the documents proving their residency plus about the vaccination being done. The vaccination should be done 14 days before entering the country.
- For the other countries, Canada is likely to open its border from 7th September 2021. As per the Canadian government, they are allowing all people provided they are fully vaccinated at least 14 days before travel to the country.
- As there are dates about the opening of the country still there are certain things which visitors need to keep in mind. Al the people are required to get a pre-entry COVID 19 molecular test result. Irrespective of the vaccination, this is mandatory.
- Further, there would be a use of a new border testing surveillance program at airports and land border crossings. For the fully vaccinated travellers, there would not be a requirement of the post-arrival test unless the candidate is selected randomly to go for a complete Day 1 COVID-19 molecular test. However, for the unvaccinated candidates, the conditions are still the same which were mentioned before.
- Due to the increase in the vaccination rates in Canada and falling of COVID-19 cases and less pressure on health care capacity, the three-night government authorized hotel stay requirement which was mandatory first has now been waved off for all travellers who reach the country by air as of 12:01 A.M. EDT on August 9. The people who are fully vaccinated will be exempted from quarantine. But travellers must be ready with a quarantine plan and provide details about the same if asked by the airport authorities due to not meeting the requirements.
- If the candidate fails to comply with the conditions stated by the government and there is negligence from the side of a candidate for any particular action then the government is liable to charge fines or penalties to the individual involved.
Thus travelling to Canada will be freely open to all. It is a great move by the country to bring the normalized process back. But then the candidates need to understand all the requirements and make sure they are ready with every detail.
