With the changing global pandemic situation, countries around the world are constantly adjusting their entry and exit policies. So, what is Canada's latest entry policy? And what are the policies for returning to China from Canada? Please join Worldway Group to find out.
According to Canada's latest entry policy, effective December 21, 2021, all travelers are required to undergo a nucleic acid test again before entering Canada. Meanwhile, fully vaccinated Canadian citizens and permanent residents returning to Canada after short-term international trips of less than 72 hours must also provide proof of a negative nucleic acid test. Furthermore, starting January 15, 2022, only travelers who have received vaccines fully recognized by Canada will be allowed to enter. Friends with relevant travel needs should take note.
Currently, Canada is implementing random nucleic acid testing; selected travelers must undergo testing at the airport, while those not selected will receive a test kit from staff and later perform a self-test via video with medical personnel. As this testing method has certain loopholes, the Canadian immigration authorities have stated they will gradually move toward 100% nucleic acid testing at airports. If arrival testing cannot be performed, travelers will be required to take a test home, self-isolate while waiting for the results, and may only end isolation once the test result is negative.
The Canadian government has once again urged Canadians to avoid all "non-essential" international travel. In Canada, not only are there more requirements for international travel, but requirements for inter-provincial travel are also becoming stricter, with different provinces having different quarantine rules regarding the pandemic.
Ontario
On January 3, local time, the Ontario government announced the latest public health restrictions. The new policies mainly include closing indoor venues that are highly prone to transmission, limiting the number of people at gatherings, and these policies will remain in effect for at least three weeks until January 26.
British Columbia
Travelers in British Columbia must comply with the domestic travel requirements set by the Canadian federal government. In addition, on December 31, British Columbia updated its pandemic prevention measures again, announcing a series of new rules: vaccinated individuals with COVID-19 who are asymptomatic can reduce their self-isolation period to 5 days, followed by 5 days of wearing a mask, while unvaccinated individuals must self-isolate for 10 days.
Saskatchewan
Travelers returning from out-of-province do not need to self-isolate. However, if a traveler was on a flight where a positive case was confirmed, they must monitor their symptoms for 14 days after arrival.
Manitoba
Fully vaccinated travelers do not need to self-isolate, but it is strongly recommended that they undergo two nucleic acid tests on the 1st and 10th day after arrival. For travelers who are not fully vaccinated, most must self-isolate for 14 days, regardless of test results or whether they exhibit symptoms. In addition, Manitoba has issued a public health order restricting travel to northern and remote communities.
Nova Scotia
All travelers over the age of 12 must complete a safe check-in form online before entering Nova Scotia, even if they are fully vaccinated. If a traveler is fully vaccinated, they do not need to self-isolate, but testing is recommended. If a traveler is not fully vaccinated, they may need to self-isolate for 7 days. Isolation can be ended in two cases: 1. Receiving two negative test results; 2. Having official documentation showing the traveler has recently recovered from COVID-19.
Prince Edward Island
Since December 22, all travelers entering Prince Edward Island are required to self-isolate for 4 days. Travelers will undergo two nucleic acid tests on the 2nd and 4th day after arrival.
In addition, those planning to return to China from Canada recently, please take note! On January 3, 2022, the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in Canada issued the latest notice!
To strengthen pandemic prevention and control and ensure the health and safety of travelers to China, in accordance with relevant domestic regulations, all personnel taking direct flights from Canada to China on or after January 14, 2022, must add one nucleic acid test 7 days before boarding (e.g., for a flight on the 14th, an additional nucleic acid test must be taken on the 7th), and perform self-closed-loop management and fill out a 7-day self-health monitoring form after the test.
Within 2 days before boarding, undergo another "double test" of nucleic acid and serum antibody, and according to the consular district division of the Chinese Embassy and Consulates in Canada, upload two negative nucleic acid test reports, a negative serum antibody test report, and the self-health monitoring form (please fill it out up to the day of applying for the green health code) to apply for a green health code from the relevant Chinese Embassy or Consulate in Canada. Other materials should continue to refer to previous requirements. The Chinese Embassy and Consulates in Canada will review and issue green health codes to those who meet the requirements. All tests must be performed at testing institutions designated by the Chinese Embassy and Consulates in Canada.
Warm reminder: The global pandemic situation remains severe, and pandemic prevention policies in various countries are updated in real-time. No matter where you are, please be sure to take personal protective measures, strictly abide by local pandemic prevention regulations, pay timely attention to the entry policies of various countries and regions, plan your travel in advance, and avoid being stranded, delaying your itinerary, or incurring unnecessary economic losses. Worldway Group will also continue to pay attention and share new information with everyone as soon as possible.
