Ottawa: Fully inoculated international tourists visiting Canada would no longer need to present a pre-arrival covid19 test result with effect from April 1, according to media reports.
The federal government announced its latest international travel exemption to smoothen travelling procedure for international arrivals.
Passengers will still have to undergo a random PCR test at the airport and utilise the ArriveCAN application to produce vaccination proof among other details, reported CTV News.
The removal of the testing rule has been a demand of hospitality industry bodies and mayors of border towns, as it adds to the woes of global travel, CBC News reported.
Previous month, the travel advisory against non-essential travelling was done away with by the administration, according to media reports.
The obligation to be entirely vaccinated before boarding a federally controlled mode of transportation remains in effect, CTV News reported.
In a press conference held Wednesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the federal administration would keep looking at measures that can be eased at the border based on science, noting that he thinks “all Canadians are pretty damn tired of two years of this pandemic, and eager to get back to normal as much as possible.”
