Quebecers who are fully immunized against COVID-19 will have access to a new proof of vaccination to travel outside the province.
The Ministry of Health says the document is different from the vaccine passport for anyone over the age of 13 to access non-essential services and other activities in Quebec.
“It will be recognized and can be used in all Canadian provinces, as well as in various states and countries in the United States around the world,” the ministry said in a statement released Monday.

The new proof of vaccination will be available for download from the ministry’s online portal. It can be used in letter PDF format as well as on mobile devices. Travelers can print it too.
It should be noted that the document can only be used for trips to other places.
In Quebec, the QR code system that confirms vaccination status will continue to be used to enter bars, restaurants and gyms, among other places.
The new document comes as the United States prepares to reopen land borders with Canada to fully vaccinated travelers in November.
