Are you fully vaccinated and eager to start traveling? As of November 30, you will not be able to fly without a government-issued vaccine passport with a QR code.
Starting October 22, the new proof of vaccination can be downloaded to smartphones or printed on paper in five provinces, including Ontario, and all three territories. For the rest of the provinces, the document will be available on November 30.
Along with the QR code, which will include your COVID-19 vaccination history, the document will also have the official logo of the province or territory and the official logo of the Government of Canada.
Before November 30, Canadians who do not yet have access to the QR code proof of vaccination can use their proof of vaccination receipt when traveling; however, it is recommended to bring a hard copy because the digital copy may not be readable outside of Canada. .
The vaccine passport does not guarantee entry to another country, according to the Government of Canada. Before you travel, check the entry requirements for the country you are traveling to and any other countries you pass through on your way to your final destination.
