As the COVID-19 pandemic has continued to evolve, the Government of Canada has t
aken a prudent and measured approach to adjusting border measures to protect the
health and safety of Canadians. In response to the surge of COVID-19 in the Peo
ple’s Republic of China and given the limited epidemiological and viral genomic
sequence data available on these cases, the Government of Canada intends to put
in place certain temporary health measures for air travellers entering Canada f
rom China.
As of 12:01 a.m. EST on January 5, all air travellers who are two years of age a
nd older, arriving on flights originating from the People’s Republic of China,
Hong Kong or Macao, will need to provide evidence of a negative COVID-19 test re
sult, taken no more than two days before their departure, to the airline prior t
o boarding. The test could be either a negative molecular (such as a PCR test),
or a negative antigen test that has documentation to show that it has been monit
ored by a telehealth service or an accredited laboratory or testing provider. Pa
ssengers who tested positive more than 10 days before their departure flight, bu
t no more than 90 days, can provide the airline with documentation of their prio
r positive, in place of a negative test result.
These planned health measures will apply to air travellers, regardless of nation
ality and vaccination status. They are temporary measures, in place for 30 days,
that will be reassessed as more data and evidence becomes available. Airlines m
ust receive the negative COVID-19 test result, or documentation of a positive te
st result taken within the prior 10-90 days, before the traveller boards the pla
ne, otherwise the traveller will be denied boarding.
Further, when arriving at Primary Inspection Kiosks and eGates, or when making a
customs declaration using the optional Advance CBSA Declaration prior to arrivi
ng at airports in Canada, travellers will be asked if they have travelled to the
People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong or Macao in the last 10 days. If they ha
ve, Canada Border Services Agency Officers will provide them with additional pub
lic health information on transmission of COVID-19, personal protective measures
and what to do if they develop symptoms of COVID-19. This applies to air travel
lers only, not to those arriving by land.
The Public Health Agency of Canada is putting in place a pilot project on wastew
ater testing from aircrafts with Vancouver International Airport, and expanding
the existing project with Toronto Pearson International Airport, to assess the C
OVID-19 prevalence from various regions of the world. The samples are then seque
nced to monitor for novel variants of concern.
The Government of Canada has a strong monitoring program in place with the provi
nces and territories to identify COVID-19 variants in Canada, including the Omic
ron variant of concern and its sub-lineages, most notably through a robust genom
ic sequencing network and through the monitoring of wastewater in Canadian commu
nities. Positive test samples for genomic sequencing are obtained from domestic
provincial, territorial and federal molecular tests from a wide variety of sourc
es to test for emerging variants.
While not mandatory, all travellers are strongly recommended to wear well-constr
ucted and well-fitted masks during their travel on planes and in airports, or ot
her crowded indoor settings. Individuals are reminded that they should not trave
l if they have symptoms of COVID-19. If travellers become sick while travelling,
and are still sick when they arrive in Canada, they should inform a flight atte
ndant or a border services officer upon arrival.
The Government of Canada continues to work with international partners to enhanc
e sequencing capacity and closely monitors the global epidemiology of COVID-19 a
nd emerging novel variants of concern.
“Since the start, our Government has taken the necessary steps to keep Canadian
s safe in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our actions continue to be guided b
y prudence and we will not hesitate to adjust measures to protect the health and
safety of Canadians. I encourage everyone to stay up-to-date with their COVID-1
9 vaccinations and to continue to exercise personal protective health measures,
like wearing a mask in crowded indoor spaces and staying home when sick.”
The Honourable Jean-Yves Duclos
Minister of Health
“The safety of travellers and the transportation industry remain top priorities
. Our Government continues to take unprecedented action to protect the health an
d safety of Canadians by introducing measures to prevent further introduction an
d transmission of COVID-19 into Canada. We will adapt our measures based on avai
lable data, the science, and the epidemiological situation in our country and gl
obally to protect Canadians.”
The Honourable Omar Alghabra
Minister of Transport
“The safety and security of Canadians is always our government’s top priority.
Since the onset of the pandemic, we’ve implemented strong measures at Canada’
s border to limit the spread of COVID-19, and that continues now. As the situati
on evolves, we'll continue to take appropriate action because that's what Canadi
ans expect.”
The Honourable Marco Mendicino
Minister of Public Safety
“Even though the pandemic has evolved, COVID-19 is still a threat that requires
global cooperation. Canada has helped lead a robust international response to C
OVID-19, supporting countries to increase access to vaccines, tests and treatmen
ts for those most at risk around the world. Canada remains committed to working
with global partners to manage the ongoing COVID-19 response and enhance prepare
dness for the future. The Embassy of Canada in Beijing and consulates in China,
as well as the Emergency Watch and Response Centre in Ottawa, stand ready to pro
vide consular assistance to Canadians, as needed.”
The Honourable Mélanie Joly
Minister of Foreign Affairs
Quick facts
The COVID-19 pandemic is not over yet. The Government of Canada urges individual
s to remain up to date with the recommended vaccinations, including booster dose
s when eligible and to keep up with personal protective habits, wearing a well-c
onstructed and well-fitting mask in poorly ventilated or crowded places, and sta
ying home if they have symptoms of COVID-19.
Individuals in Canada who plan to travel abroad should complete a COVID-19 vacci
ne series along with any additional recommended doses in Canada, at least 14 day
s before travelling.
Travellers are encouraged to check the Travel Advice and Advisories page for you
r destination. These pages contain country-specific information on health risks,
safety and security, local laws and customs, entry requirements, and other impo
rtant travel information.
At present, there is a Level 2 travel health notice for COVID-19 related to trav
el to all countries. Travellers should remember to make informed decisions when
considering travel outside of Canada and are advised to maintain enhanced health
precautions and practice public health measures at their ports of entry.
At any time, Canadians can sign up with the Registration of Canadians abroad ser
vice to receive important messages from Global Affairs Canada, in case of an eme
rgency.
On December 23, 2022, a Level 2 travel health notice was posted for Chinese New
Year, with recommendations to take extra health precautions for COVID-19 in Chin
a, due to the recent lifting of many COVID-19 restrictions.
All travellers, regardless of citizenship, are not required to submit public hea
lth information through the ArriveCAN app or website.

加拿大聯邦政府公共衛生部宣布，基於目前疫情發展，決定提出以下暫時的30天邊境管制措
施：
自加拿大東部時間2023年1月5日00：01起，所有從中國、香港、澳門空路入境的兩歲以上人
士，在登機前必須提供兩天內的武漢肺炎篩檢陰性證明。如果是感染超過10日以上未滿90日
內者，可以用感染陽性證明代替陰性篩檢證明。
而過去10日之內曾在中國、香港、澳門的人士，在航空路線入境時請配合海關進行疫調。
此外，加拿大聯邦政府將於多倫多皮爾森國際機場及溫哥華國際機場對降落航班進行污水採
樣化驗，以了解國際疫情擴散趨勢。
而同時也將在國內進行廢水採樣，以了解奧秘克隆等變種病毒株分佈狀況。
此外，加拿大政府強烈建議各位在搭乘飛機、前往人潮聚集場所時配掛符合臉型的口罩。而
如果在飛行過程前及中有身體不適的，請盡快通常空服員及海關人員。
