Upon arrival at Canadian ports of entry, travellers are required to follow the instructions of a government of Canada representative designated to administer the Emergency Orders under the Quarantine Act. Government of Canada representatives will:
administer the Emergency Orders for COVID-19 on behalf of the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC)
determine if an individual's travel purpose for travelling to Canada falls within the definition of the exemptions of the Emergency Orders
assess travellers for potential risks to public health, in accordance with their designation under the Quarantine Act
If you require assistance in interpreting any of the Orders in Council currently in effect, or if you have additional questions about the Emergency Orders, please direct your enquiry to phac.emergencyorder-decretdurgencecovid19.aspc@canada.ca.
