Canada will end all restrictions on travel related to COVID-19, on October 1

On October 1, Canada will lift all travel restrictions related to COVID-19. Use of ArriveCan app and immunization documentation are no longer requirements for entry into Canada.
In accordance with the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), beginning on October 1, 2022, all travelers, regardless of citizenship, won't be required to:

1. Submit information about public health using the ArriveCAN app or website;
2. Show vaccination documentation;
3. Undergo testing prior to or upon arrival;
4. Implement quarantine or isolation for COVID-19;
5. When they arrive in Canada, keep an eye out for any COVID-19 symptoms or signs and report them.

Additionally, masks won't be required on Canadian trains or airplanes. According to PHAC, Canada's high vaccination rates, low hospitalization and death rates, as well as the availability and use of vaccine boosters, are the main reasons why travel restrictions have been lifted. The government will continue to strongly advise travelers to wear masks and constantly monitor their wellness.

Since last June, Canada has waived the immunization requirements for both domestic and international travel. Government representatives claimed at the time that the suspension of those vaccination requirements was a representation of the improved public health situation, with 90% of Canadians already having received the COVID-19 vaccine.

Canada's aggressive immigration goals, including those achieved through Express Entry programs, are the result of a number of factors, including a 5.7% job vacancy rate at the moment. The largest group of Canadians in the working age population, the baby boomers, will soon reach retirement age and there will be an even greater shortage of skilled workers. Canada has extended invitations to 28,039 immigrants through Express Entry programs so far in 2022. IRCC invited 3750 Express Entry applicants to apply for permanent residency on September 28, 2022. The cut-off score for the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) was 504. The CRS is also at its lowest level since all-program draws have resumed. Since the CRS scores peaked at 557 on July 6, they have been gradually declining.

Given the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic, this announcement was anticipated. As more people get immunized and the virus shifts from being a pandemic to being endemic, like the common cold, the number of cases has been declining.
