OTTAWA, ON,\u00a0Jan. 29, 2021\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, the Government of Canada announced new rules on international travel, in addition to the multi-layered approach on COVID-19 already in place. The government and Canada’s airlines have agreed to suspend all flights to and from Mexico and Caribbean countries until April 30, 2021. This will be in effect as of January 31, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Further, effective midnight (11:59 PM EST) February 3, 2021, in addition to proof of a negative pre-departure test, Transport Canada will expand the existing international flight restrictions which funnel scheduled international commercial passenger flights into four Canadian airports: Montr\u00e9al-Trudeau International Airport, Toronto Pearson International Airport, Calgary International Airport, and Vancouver International Airport. The new restrictions will include scheduled commercial passenger flights arriving from the United States, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and South America, which were exempted from the previous restriction. Private\/business and charter flights from all countries will also be required to land at the four airports. Flights from Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon and cargo-only flights will remain exempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As soon as possible in the coming weeks, all air travellers arriving in Canada, with very limited exceptions, must reserve a room in a Government of Canada-approved hotel for three nights at their own cost, and take a COVID-19 molecular test on arrival at their own cost. More details will be available in the coming days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Government of\u00a0Canada\u00a0will introduce a 72-hour pre-arrival testing requirement (molecular test) for travellers seeking entry in land mode, with limited exceptions such as commercial truckers. In addition, we continue to collaborate with partners in\u00a0the United States\u00a0to strengthen our border measures and keep our countries safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr. Trudeau confirmed that according to available data, less than 2% of Covid-19 cases are linked to returning travellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As of\u00a0January 26, 2021, 99% of the 48,682 interventions by law enforcement have resulted in compliance by travellers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
