Canada has announced plans to reopen its borders to UK travellers in a matter of weeks. If the epidemiological situation remains “favourable” in both Canada and the UK, the nation plans to reopen from September 7, 2021.
The test must have been conducted at least 14 days and no more than 180 days before the initially scheduled departure time.
All travellers must enter a “suitable quarantine plan” into the ArriveCAN app as preparation in case they are required to quarantine.
Travellers who are found to be symptomatic or who do not meet the set-out requirements must quarantine.
Upon entering the country, border officials will be conducting “randomised” testing.
Those who are selected must take the arrival test as directed or may receive a home test kit to complete within 24 hours of entering the country.
Fully vaccinated travellers are not exempt from random testing.
