Canada: Vaccine Mandatory for Certain Travellers

The Government of Canada is also announcing that as of January 15, 2022, certain groups of travellers, who are currently exempt from entry requirements, will only be allowed to enter the country if they are fully vaccinated with one of the vaccines approved for entry into Canada. These groups include:

*individuals travelling to reunite with family (unvaccinated children under 18 years of age will retain exemption if travelling to reunite with an immediate or extended family member who is a Canadian, permanent resident, or person registered under the Indian Act);
*international students who are 18 years old and older;
*professional and amateur athletes;
individuals with a valid work permit, including temporary foreign workers (outside of those in agriculture and food processing); and
*essential service providers, including truck drivers.
