Public Health Agency of Canada said that from 7 September, Canada’s borders will reopen to any fully vaccinated traveller who has received their full vaccine doses at least 14 days before entry. They will not have to quarantine on arrival.


This move will go ahead provided “the domestic epidemiologic situation remains favourable” in Canada in the coming weeks.

As a first step in this process, Canada will allow US citizens and permanent residents to enter the country from 9 August, providing they have been fully vaccinated at least 14 days before arrival.

Canada is also to expand the number of airports permitted to handle international flights from next month.
