My Canadian Dream

Canada’s COVID-19 proof of vaccination is a standardized, reliable and secure way to show your vaccination history in Canada.

You can use Canada’s COVID-19 proof of vaccination when travelling within Canada to help meet vaccine requirements, such as:

• Using VIA Rail and Rocky Mountaineer trains
• When departing Canada on a plane or cruise ship

Find out how to get yours by visiting Canada.ca/vaccine-proof.

Canada’s COVID-19 proof of vaccination is a standardized, reliable and secure way to show your vaccination history, in Canada and around the world. It was developed in close collaboration with the provinces and territories.

Canada’s COVID-19 proof of vaccination shows your vaccination history in a standard, easy to read, format that includes your province’s or territory’s logo, the Canada wordmark and a QR code. The proof of vaccination can be used for travel within Canada and around the world.

If you are a resident of Newfoundland and Labrador, the Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, Ontario, Quebec, Saskatchewan, and Yukon, you may already have the Canadian COVID-19 proof of vaccination. Look for the Canada wordmark and flag in the right hand corner.

The rest of the provinces will start to issue Canada’s COVID-19 proof of vaccination in the coming weeks, so it will be available from coast to coast to coast.

The proof of vaccination includes your name, date of birth, and vaccination info (number of doses, type(s), and date(s) of vaccine). This helps officials in Canada or abroad confirm whether you meet their public health requirements.

As of October 30, 2021, one of the ways you can use Canada’s COVID-19 proof of vaccination is to meet the new mandatory vaccination requirements for Canadian federally regulated transportation travellers.

ArriveCAN, the app and website that all travellers must use to submit mandatory information before arriving in Canada, has been updated to digitally verify the new standardized proof of vaccination. Reminder: ArriveCAN is not required for travel within Canada.

The Government of Canada encourages everyone who is able to do so to get vaccinated. Vaccination with a complete series of Health Canada-authorized vaccines is our best defense against the virus.

Learn more about how to get a COVID-19 proof of vaccination from your province/territory, what it can be used for, and what Canadian and international travellers need to know by visiting Canada.ca/vaccine-proof.

As of September 7, fully vaccinated travellers, from any country, can enter Canada.

Check out this summary of the border measure changes:

✔️ Fully vaccinated travellers who meet all of the mandatory requirements do not have to quarantine upon arrival in Canada.

✔️ Travellers MUST show their receipt to board their flight.

✔️ All travellers must have proof of a negative COVID-19 molecular test taken within 72 hours before arrival, or a positive result taken 14-180 days before arrival. Antigen tests will not be accepted.

✔️ Fully vaccinated travellers do not need testing, unless they have been randomly selected to complete a Day 1 Covid-19 molecular test.

✔️ Travellers entering Canada for exempt essential purposes, such as medical support and trade and transport, will be able to save time by entering their info in ArriveCAN once and using the same receipt for each entry into Canada.

✔️ Unvaccinated children under 12 travelling with fully vaccinated parents and/or guardians no longer have to quarantine, but must avoid group settings during the first 14 days after arrival.
