Fully vaccinated Canadians can soon enter the country by land or air without having to quarantine – as long as they’ve tested negative for COVID-19.

The federal government made the announcement Monday, saying to qualify as “fully vaccinated,” Canadians need to have had two doses of Pfizer, Moderna or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

The new rule kicks in on July 5 at 11:59 p.m. ET and will apply only to people already eligible to travel in Canada, including citizens, permanent residents and people registered under the Indian Act.

Travellers must submit their vaccine information in the ArriveCan app before their arrival at the border, the feds said. They must also take a COVID-19 test within 72 hours before arrival at the border, take a second test upon arrival and have a quarantine plan in the event the arrival test comes back positive.

Transport Minister Omar Alghabra also announced Monday that the flight ban between Canada and India would be renewed until July 21. He said a flight ban between Canada and Pakistan would not be renewed.
