The Canadian government announced on Monday that starting Oct. 1, all COVID-19 entry restrictions will be removed, including testing, quarantine and isolation requirements for anyone entering Canada.

Travelers would also not need to wear masks on planes and trains.

Foreign travelers will no longer be required to provide proof of vaccination or covid test on arrival. Quarantine policies for arriving travelers will also be scrapped.

“Thanks in large part to Canadians who rolled up their sleeves to get vaccinated, and our dedicated public health and frontline workers, we have reached the point where we can safely remove the measures put in place to manage COVID-19 and its variants at our borders.” posted on Twitter, Jean-Yves Duclos, Federal Minister of Health.
