Update on the current Canadian and American
travel regulations for Pesach.

To leave Canada:

• The Canadian Government has no restrictions on leaving Canada by land.
• To travel by plane – even domestically – you must be fully vaccinated. This applies to
everyone, including Canadian citizens. The only exception is children younger than 12 years
and 4 months.

To enter the United States:
• Only US citizens or non-citizens who are fully vaccinated are allowed to enter the United
States by land or by air. Children under 18 years of age, even those who are not US citizens,
can enter without being vaccinated.
There are NO exemptions for close family, essential workers, students etc.

• Before boarding a flight to the United States, you need to show proof of a negative COVID-19
test result taken no more than 1 day before travel and proof that you are fully vaccinated.
Even fully vaccinated still need a pre-entry test to travel to the United States by air.
• You do not need a negative COVID-19 test to travel to the United States by land.

To enter Canada:
• By air or by land, you must be fully vaccinated to enter Canada except:
➢ Canadian Citizens
➢ Permanent Residents
➢ Children under 18 of a Canadian citizen.
➢ Children under 18 of parents who are fully vaccinated.
There are NO exemptions for close family, essential workers, students etc.

If you are fully vaccinated, you do NOT need any COVID-19 test to enter Canada
(by land and by air).
• If you are not vaccinated – even children under 18 years old – then you must have one of the
following to enter Canada:
1) A negative PCR or MOLECULAR (NAAT) COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours before
departure to Canada. The test cannot be taken in Canada even if you’ve traveled for less
than 72 hours.
2) The special RAPID ANTIGEN TEST that can be taken the day of departure. The test
must be taken in a Pharmacy, Lab or Clinic etc. It cannot be taken on your own.
3) A positive PCR or MOLECULAR COVID-19 test taken between 11 and 180 days before
travel.
• Unvaccinated and partially vaccinated children 5 years of age or older must provide a valid
pre-entry test result, even if they are accompanying a fully vaccinated adult.
