The federal government said COVID-19 border measures will be lifted as of Saturday.
Starting Oct. 1, any traveller entering Canada will no longer have to provide proof of vaccination, undergo COVID-19 testing, quarantine, or monitor and report symptoms of the virus if they develop. The government also said travellers will no longer have to undergo health checks for air and rail travel, or wear masks on planes or trains.
"We've always maintained that the extraordinary measures we introduced at our borders and on airplanes, trains and boats were temporary, and that we would adjust them as the situation changes," Transport Minister Omar Alghabra said at a press conference on Monday.The travel industry has long been calling on the federal government to lift COVID-19 border restrictions, saying Canada was behind other nations around the world when it comes to easing travel rules.
"Today's announcement aligns with the travel policies of other major nations, reflects our industry's outstanding commitment to safety, and recognizes that air travel is no less safer than any other consumer activity," von Hoensbroech said.
