The Canadian government issued an official notice confirming: On September 7, Canada officially opened its borders to tourists from all over the world.
The notice clearly stated that starting from 00:01 AM Eastern Time on September 7, 2021, all international travelers who have been fully vaccinated can enter Canada as long as they meet the entry requirements.
At the same time, the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) also issued a tweet confirming the news, and clarified that travelers can use non-essential purposes (such as travel ) Entry. However, I remind everyone that the official notification has clearly stated that the vaccine must be vaccinated by the Canadian health department before it can be exempted from entry.
The Canadian Border Services Agency stated in a statement that before making this decision, the federal government has carefully assessed the country's epidemic situation and believes that everything is within control.
The specific entry requirements and procedures are as follows: span>

Attention parents

When parents declare ArriveCAN, they should submit the declaration forms of their children and parents separately.
eligible immigrants who are not fully vaccinated
For travelers who are not fully vaccinated but are eligible to enter Canada, such as Canadian citizens, permanent residents, or registered under the Indian Act People, their testing and quarantine requirements have not changed. These passengers are still subject to quarantine, all testing requirements (pre-arrival, first day and eighth day) and mandatory submission of travel, contact and quarantine plans through ArriveCAN.
People who are fully vaccinated can be exempted from isolation. Although international students or work permit holders have not fully vaccinated, they meet the criteria for entry exempt people. , So you can still enter Canada, but you need to be quarantined for 14 days. The reason for the entry of domestic passport travel visa holders is non-essential travel. Even if they are actively quarantined, they are not in the scope of entry exemption, so they will still not be able to enter Canada after September 7. You also need to wait patiently for the Canadian border to open completely before you can enter.
