Canada’s vaccine and mask mandates for travel and use of the ArriveCan app at the border will be dropped on Oct. 1.
The Trudeau government announced the changes to the country’s COVID travel measures in a news conference on Monday morning.
The change means foreign nationals will no longer require an approved series of vaccinations to enter the country. It also means Canada-bound travellers will no longer be subject to random mandatory COVID-19 tests.
The requirement for unvaccinated Canadians to isolate when they return to the country and the mandatory use of the ArriveCan app will also end with the expired order.
