Canada Border Covid-19 Requirements Ending?
The latest news indicates that Canadian government sources have confirmed that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has agreed to let a cabinet order, that mandates Covid-19 vaccination requirements to cross the Canadian border, expire at the end of September 2022. The cabinet order that requires international travelers to be vaccinated against Covid-19 was put in place a year ago and subsequently renewed about every three months. The latest version of the order will expire September 30 and is expected not to be renewed.
The expired order would also end random Covid-19 testing for those who are vaccinated, and mandatory testing for unvaccinated international travelers. Letting the order expire would eliminate the mandatory component of the ArriveCAN app.
The ArriveCAN app was created by Canada’s Public Health Agency for travelers to provide vaccination and travel information. The app has since morphed into a digitized border arrival tool for Customs and Immigration as an alternative to using the paper version. With the anticipated Covid-19 cabinet order expiring on September 30, ArriveCAN app may become an optional tool instead of a mandatory tool.
The Canadian federal government is still deciding whether to maintain the requirement for passengers to wear face masks on trains and airplanes, which is not contained in the same cabinet order. This particular mask mandate order was given by the Minister of Transport.
