Border Restrictions Ease Starting Today

But Canada Border Services reminds travellers it won't be a free for all

Canada is finally starting to loosen COVID-19 quarantine rules for some travellers.

Starting today, fully vaccinated Canadians and permanent residents will be able to skip the 14 day quarantine when they return home.

Double dosed Canadian air travellers can bypass the required three-day stay in a government-approved hotel.

Travellers must use the ArriveCAN app or web portal prior to departure to log their vaccination details, as well as the results of a negative COVID-19 test that's less than three days old.

Federal officials are stressing that people who were not eligible to enter Canada yesterday, will still be unable to do so under the new rules. 

CBSA officials also adding this does not mean the border is open for tourism or recreation.
