Both the Canadian and Australian Governments have made announcements on the COVID-19 entry requirements for international travellers.

Traveling To Canada from Australia

On arrival to Canada, travellers may be subjected to random molecular tests however will not need to isolate while waiting for test results.

All travellers who do not qualify as fully vaccinated and who are 5 years of age and over, will need to continue to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test result upon entry to Canada.

Negative results can be provided in the following ways:

  • A valid, negative antigen test, administered or observed by an accredited lab or testing provider, taken outside of Canada no more than one day before their initially scheduled flight departure time or their arrival at the land border or marine port of entry,
  • A valid negative molecular test taken no more than 72 hours before their initially scheduled flight departure time or their arrival at the land border or marine port of entry; or
  • A previous positive molecular test taken at least 10 calendar days and no more than 180 calendar days before their initially scheduled flight departure time or their arrival at the land border or marine port of entry.

72 hours prior to boarding your flight to Canada, all travellers are required to submit the mandatory information to ArriveCAN which is a free mobile app that can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play and is also an accessible website. Failure to lodge mandatory information can result in testing on arrival and a 14-day quarantine period.
