All travelers to Canada must use ArriveCan within 72 hours of before their arrival in Canada unless they're exempt for the requirement due to an accessibility need.
How to use ArriveCan to enter Canada
To use ArriveCan:
It will only take you roughly 15 minutes to complete all the steps.
Once you have submitted your information through ArriveCan, you will get a receipt that includes:
- a summary of your travel (border crossing and date of arrival);
- a list of travelers included in your submission; and
- a 6-digit confirmation code
You will be required to present this receipt, COVID-19 test results and proof of vaccination (if applicable) to a Canada border services officer when you enter Canada.
You can show a screenshot or printout of this receipt. For additional details and questions about this process, please visit ArriveCan's dedicated page.
