The ArriveCAN is an online health declaration form mandatory for travelers visiting Canada by air, land, and sea.

The new Health Declaration Form was introduced in 2021 to help minimize the spread of Covid-19 and ensure as few cases of infection in Canada as possible.

The form can be obtained in two ways. Either online or via ArriveCAN App, available for both IOS and Android. All travelers must fill a health form within 72 hours from the planned arrival in Canada and present a receipt/confirmation of its completion to the customs officials when crossing the border.

It's crucial to note that, as of now, Canada is giving permission to enter only to fully vaccinated travelers.

Moreover, the vaccine must be one of the four accepted by the Canadian government, i.e., either Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, or Johnson&Johnson.

The Canadian health certificate operates entirely online. To be able to use it and enter Canada successfully, one must meet all the current travel requirements in place. Thus, travelers are advised to check if they meet the present entry regulations prior to applying.

Eligible travelers should then apply online for their ArriveCAN health form. This can be easily done using any working device with an internet connection, including a phone or a laptop.

Applications must be submitted within 3 days prior to the intended date of arrival.
