A number of requirements must be met
To be eligible for the quarantine exemption, incoming international students will need to have received the full series of a vaccine 14 days before arrival – which is two doses administered weeks apart for Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca/COVISHIELD, and a single dose for Janssen (Johnson & Johnson). They can have received their vaccines in any country, and a combination of vaccines (e.g., AstraZeneca plus Pfizer, or any other accepted combination) is permitted. They must still meet all other entry requirements, such as pre- and on-arrival testing.

Children who aren’t eligible to be vaccinated (those under 12 years old) who accompany their fully vaccinated parents to Canada must quarantine for two weeks but this can be at home with their parents.

Incoming travellers eligible for the exemption must provide documentation supporting their vaccination in English, French, or with a certified translation.
