Canada's borders will remain closed until at least January 21, 2021. As part of Canada's efforts to reduce the spread of COVID, all travellers are required to digitally provide contact and quarantine information. Because paper forms take days to process and to upload and can be incomplete or inaccurate, the Canadian government has created a fast, paperless online website and app to help provinces and territories protect their citizens.
The Government of Canada has created the ArriveCAN app and website so Canadians can before leaving their home country to provide mandatory travel information required for entry into Canada.
ArriveCAN can be accessed online or download the Apple or Android app.
How To Use ArriveCAN
Anyone arriving by air to enter Canada as a final destination must use ArriveCAN to submit their travel and quarantine information. Travellers arriving by land or sea are strongly encouraged to use ArriveCAN to expedite processing:
- ArriveCAN must be used by Canadians and foreign travellers
- Show your ArriveCAN receipt to the border services officer
- All travellers, whether they travel by air, land or sea, must report daily after their entry into Canada
- Travellers who are exempt from quarantine do not have to report after they have entered Canada
- Within 48 hours of entry into Canada, travellers must confirm they have arrived at the address provided for their quarantine form
Whether travellers are entering Canada by air, land or sea, you can use ArriveCAN to:
- provide required contact information for you and your family travelling together
- answer questions about your quarantine plan if your travel isn’t exempt from quarantine requirements
- get an ArriveCAN confirmation receipt to show to border services officers
- take a screenshot or print your confirmation if you sign in online
- report after your entry and complete COVID-19 symptom self-assessments
WATCH: Use ArriveCAN to Provide Mandatory Travel Information
