Keeping Canadians safe

All travellers are required to provide contact and quarantine information upon and after entry into Canada. This is part of Canada's efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and prevent importation. This information is crucial to Canada's response to COVID-19.

Paper forms can be incomplete or inaccurate, and can take days to process. To help provinces and territories protect their citizens, the Government of Canada is moving to a safer and faster paperless process.
Requirements for entry and after entry to Canada
Requirements for entering Canada by air

If flying to Canada as a final destination, Canadians and all travellers must use ArriveCAN to submit their:

    travel and contact information
    quarantine plan (unless exempted from the mandatory requirement to quarantine)
    COVID-19 symptom self-assessments

ArriveCAN doesn’t ask you for COVID-19 test results.

You must use ArriveCAN before you board your flight to Canada. You can use ArriveCAN up to 365 days before your flight.

Once you submit your information through ArriveCAN:

    a receipt will be displayed
    show the receipt to a Canadian border services officer when you enter

Exceptions to mandatory digital submission
Entering Canada by land or sea

If you're travelling to Canada by land or sea, you're strongly encouraged to submit your travel information through ArriveCAN. This will speed up processing at the border and limit points of contact.

Show your ArriveCAN receipt to the border services officer.
Requirements after you've entered Canada

All travellers, whether you travel by air, land or sea, must report daily after your entry into Canada. If you’re exempt from having to quarantine, you don't have to report after you’ve entered.

You must report to:

    confirm that you've arrived at the address you provided for your quarantine or isolation location within 48 hours of your entry into Canada
    complete daily COVID-19 symptom self-assessments until the completion of your quarantine period or until you report symptoms

If you don't complete your reporting after you’ve entered Canada, you may receive phone calls or public health follow-ups.
