Fully vaccinated visitors to Canada will no longer be required to take a COVID-19 test prior to their arrival.

Beginning April 1, Canada is removing the COVID-19 test requirement for fully immunized travelers. The Canadian government has declared that the new regulations will apply to visitors entering at all ports of entry. Although pre-arrival testing will be eliminated, the government may still randomly test passengers upon arrival. The random testing will be used to detect and track COVID-19 variations. If fully vaccinated travelers are chosen for an on-arrival test, they will not be quarantined while awaiting the results.

The administration underlined the fact that other nations, including the United Kingdom, Denmark, Switzerland, and Ireland, had already withdrawn their testing requirements. Travelers to Canada are currently required to submit a pre-arrival antigen test within 24 hours of airplane departure or arrival at the land border. Alternatively, within 72 hours of arriving in Canada, visitors can undergo a molecular test. The mandatory vaccination requirement for visitors to Canada remains in place.
To accomplish its immigration objectives in the face of these travel limitations, the IRCC concentrated its immigration efforts on admitting as many candidates as possible who were already in Canada.
Canada, IRCC invited 919 Express Entry applicants to apply for permanent residence on March 30. All of the candidates who were invited should have already been nominated through a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). The cut-off (CRS) rose this time to 785.
In a recent interview, Immigration Minister Sean Fraser stated that the government intended to begin Express Entry applications for qualified workers in the spring. Fraser statement is good sign for candidates who are planning to move to Canada.
