Two senior government sources aware of the decision confirmed the cabinet order maintaining COVID-19 border measures will not be renewed when it expires on Sept. 30. The change means international travellers will no longer have to prove they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. The cabinet order also spells out that vaccinated travellers will be selected for random COVID-19 testing, and requires travellers to submit their vaccine proof and test results electronically. Canada’s COVID-19 border measures have been evolving since the pandemic began in March 2020. Dr. Zain Chagla, an infectious disease specialist, has been arguing against mandatory vaccinations and testing at the border for months.
