Canada Announces Plan to Ease Travel Rules for International Visitors

From 28 February 2022 Canada is set to ease entry rules for international travellers. Like many countries opening borders, it does not come without conditions. Arrivals must be fully vaccinated with a government approved vaccine and undertake a COVID-19 test if directed to do so upon arrival.

The country will monitor conditions by implementing random Covid-19 testing at airports. Roughly 80% of Canadians are double vaccinated and over 40% have received a 3rd booster vaccine according to the health ministry.

In addition to allowing fully vaccinated international arrivals, the global travel advisory has also updated its advice to Canadian travellers to exercise precaution when travelling. Previously Canadians had been advised against all non-essential travel.
