The pandemic isn’t over yet. And the Canadian airports reminded us of the same once again. The four major Canadian airports have resumed the random COVID-19 testing even for vaccinated travellers to curb the spreading of the pandemic. The testing stopped on 11th June. But, the Canadian government resumed it on the 19th of July. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Don't worry; the process doesn’t have to be messy. Travellers selected for the testing will receive a notification via email 15 minutes before the customs declaration. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The four Canadian airports that resumed COVID-19 testing include Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary and Toronto.  The government has also informed you that you can get the testing done through an in-person appointment at a testing centre. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Who is Eligible for the COVID-19 Testing at Canadian Airports?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Any traveller, including Canadian citizens and PRs, may be asked to do the testing at the airport. If you are fully vaccinated, you may have to leave the airport for the testing. You can proceed with the travel hassle-free without having to wait for the results. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you are not fully vaccinated, you have to do the test upon arrival. You have to do so on days one and eight. Your stay would include a two-week quarantine anywhere that accommodates your quarantine requirements. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is a mandatory step. Thus, you may have to pay hefty fines if you refuse the test. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If the results are positive, you need to isolate them for 10 days. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What is the Status of the Testing Process?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As mentioned earlier, fully-vaccinated travellers need to step out of the airport for the test. This decision was made to prevent chaos at the airport. But, the long queues at the testing centre are already causing disappointment among people. Many have been reported to miss their flights because of the long wait times at the testing centre. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

People have already expressed their disappointment with the current process at Canadian airports. They have also stated that the ArriveCAN app unnecessarily stretches the average processing times, rendering the app unreliable and a technological failure. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
