New testing requirements for direct flights from India to Canada

New testing requirements for direct flights from India to Canada

Direct flights from India to Canada have resumed.

Passengers eligible to enter Canada and travelling on those flights must:

*obtain a pre-departure negative COVID-19 molecular test result from the Genestrings Laboratory, located above the metro station in the Airport Connect Building (ACB) at the Indira Gandhi International Airport
*perform this test within 18 hours before their scheduled departure
*present the test report with a QR code issued by this laboratory to the air operator before boarding


Alternatively, travellers who have previously tested positive for COVID-19 can present a positive molecular test issued by a certified laboratory in India. The date of collection must have been between 14 and 180 days before their scheduled departure to Canada.

Airlines will refuse boarding to any traveller who’s unable to meet these requirements.

Indirect flights
Passengers who travel from India to Canada via an indirect route still need to provide a pre-departure negative COVID-19 molecular test result from a third country before continuing their journey to Canada.
