• Providing proof of vaccination and other health information;
• Mandatory usage of the ArriveCAN application;
• Pre- or on-arrival testing and/or screening requirements;
• Random testing at airports;
• Monitoring and reporting if one develops COVID-19 symptoms;
• Quarantine and isolation requirements.

As a result, as of September 30, 2022, persons entering Canada would still be required to follow local public health guidelines, where applicable. The removal of measures applies to all forms of travel, including by air, land (including rail), and sea, whether internationally bound or domestic.

Many of these requirements have been in place since early 2020, during the onset of the pandemic. Employers with employees traveling into Canada can be assured that such measures related to COVID-19 will no longer apply as of October 1, 2022. It is important to note that the Government of Canada did leave open the possibility of re-imposing measures if the situation regarding COVID-19 is seen as requiring it.
