For essential travel, air travellers 5 years of age or older are now required to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test result to the airline prior to boarding international flights bound for Canada.
The Government of Canada is continuing to advise travellers to avoid all non-essential travel outside of Canada. Public health measures abroad may not protect you from exposure to #COVID19. ow.ly/evaG50CXcon
