Following over a year of advocacy by ACTA and the Canadian Travel and Tourism Roundtable, the Government of Canada announced February 15th that the pre-departure molecular (PCR) testing requirement for fully vaccinated travellers would be removed effective February 28, 2022.

Fully vaccinated travellers may now use a negative rapid antigen test one day before their departure time or arrival at the land border. The test must be administered by a telehealth service, laboratory, or healthcare professional.

Travellers may still use a molecular test within 72 hours of travel or furnish proof of a positive COVID-19 molecular test taken at least 10 calendar days and no more than 180 calendar days before entering Canada. There is no change or easing of rules for unvaccinated travellers.
