Vaccinations

Other countries may have different rules to enter their country. — travellers need to ensure they are aware of the rules in that country before they depart from Edmonton. You may still need a COVID-19 test and/or vaccination when departing Canada, depending on your destination. Testing is available for passengers in the terminal. Two options are available to help meet any testing required by your destination – both rapid antigen screening and laboratory-based PCR testing. But coming back to Edmonton from another country – you won’t have to do the same travel processes you were doing arriving into Canada.

Travellers will also not be required to submit public health information through the ArriveCAN app or website, carry out COVID-19-related quarantine or isolation, nor monitor and report if they develop signs or symptoms of COVID-19 upon arriving to Canada.
If people entered Canada in the 14 days before Oct 1 – as of Saturday, Oct 1 they will not be required to complete the remainder of their quarantine or isolation or complete their testing requirements.
