Exemptions to Federal Quarantine and Testing
The Government of Canada continues to monitor and review the available scientific evidence to determine future border measures, including the use of both testing and
vaccination to protect the health and safety of Canadians. Requirements for travellers to Canada, and exemptions from those requirements, will continue to evolve for
vaccinated travellers and all travellers. Travellers should visit the Government of Canada’s COVID-19: Travel, testing, quarantine and borders website regularly to verify
the latest requirements and exemptions.
Use the COVID-19 “Travel exemptions from testing and quarantine” webpage to find out if your travel may be exempt from specific requirements when you enter Canada.
Federal Quarantine Exemptions
You may be exempt from the mandatory federal quarantine requirements (including the government-authorized hotel stay for air travellers) under
certain conditions, including if you:
• provide essential services
• maintain the flow of essential goods or people
• are receiving medical care within 36 hours of entering Canada ( non-related to COVID-19)
• regularly cross the border to work ( pattern of travel which is generally defined as daily or weekly)
• are a student who regularly crosses the border to attend school (one or more days a week)
• live in an integrated trans-border community
• are a fully-vaccinated traveller with the right of entry to Canada (Canadians, permanent residents and persons registered under the Indian Act)
and foreign nationals who are currently eligible to enter Canada and meet specific criteria.
