Fully-vaccinated international students who have been vaccinated with AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson are not obliged to quarantine in Canada if they have received their second dose at least two weeks before.

International students are required to perform a COVID-19 test twice, the first one three days before arriving in Canada, whereas the second one upon their arrival. Following this decision, international students do not need to test for the virus on the eighth day or spend the first three days at the hotel waiting for the test results, Erudera.com reports.

Students who are not vaccinated or have received vaccines that the Canadian government does not recognize must quarantine and perform three tests, including pre-departure, on arrival, and day 8 test, once they arrive in the country.
