COVID-19: Assess your quarantine plan

Before travelling to Canada, all travellers, regardless of citizenship, must make suitable plans for quarantine, within their own means.

Travellers who qualify as fully vaccinated may be exempt from quarantine. Eligibility will be determined at the border. However, before you travel you must still make plans for suitable quarantine and enter those plans into ArriveCAN.

You are required to quarantine for a period of 14 days after travel if:

• You are not fully vaccinated
• You are not given the fully vaccinated traveller exemption at the border (eligibility will be determined at the border)

Use these questions to guide you in developing a suitable plan.

When you arrive at the border, you will be asked about your quarantine plan to confirm it meets requirements.

A suitable quarantine plan helps to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in our country, our communities, and our families.

Some situations can result in needing to stay in quarantine for longer than planned. For example, if during your 14-day quarantine period, you:

• start having symptoms of COVID-19
• are exposed to another person who exhibits signs and symptoms of COVID-19; OR
• receive a positive COVID-19 test result

You must:

• isolate yourself from others immediately
• remain in isolation for an additional period of 10 days. The isolation period starts the earliest of:
  • the date you developed symptoms or
  • the date you completed the COVID test, if the date is validated by the rest provider or
  • the date of the test result
• follow the instructions provided by the public health authority specified by a screening officer or quarantine officer
