Effective January 7th, 2021, all customers five years of age or older travelling to Canada from an international destination are required to provide a negative COVID-19 PCR test prior to departure.

The Government of Canada advised us on December 31st that, effective January 7, 2021:

• All customers five years of age or older entering Canada from an international destination are required to provide, prior to boarding a flight, a negative COVID-19 PCR test.

• The test must be taken within 72 hours of departure from your flight to Canada. Some exceptions apply.

• At present, the Government of Canada has not yet finalized or published a list of testing facilities for every country. Visit travel.gc.ca   External site which may not meet accessibility guidelines. for official updates.

• If your flight to Canada departs from one of the recognised countries identified by the Government of Canada as a country where PCR testing is deemed unavailable, you may still travel however upon landing in Canada you will be required to quarantine for 14 days in a Public Health Agency of Canada quarantine location.

• Even with a negative COVID-19 PCR test all customers entering Canada will still have to complete a mandatory 14-day quarantine.
