You'll Soon Need To Be Fully Vaccinated To Travel By VIA Rail & Plane In Canada
Workers will also need to be vaccinated.
Everyone in Canada using planes or VIA Rail will soon need to be fully vaccinated in order to travel within the country.
"Effective October 30, air passengers departing from Canadian airports, travellers on VIA Rail and Rocky Mountaineer trains, and travellers on non-essential passenger vessels on voyages of 24 hours or more, such as cruise ships, will need to be vaccinated," the government said in a press release.
Vaccines work. That\u2019s why we\u2019re going to make them mandatory for workers in the federal public service and for people boarding planes and trains. For the latest on our plan, tune in to our announcement now: https://bit.ly/3uNKr2D— Justin Trudeau (@Justin Trudeau) 1633533506
All workers in federally regulated travel industries will also need to be fully vaccinated in order to work.
The vaccination requirement will only apply to people 12 years old or older.
For unvaccinated travellers, there will be a short transition period during which "they will be able to travel if they can show a valid COVID-19 molecular test within 72 hours" of departure. The transition period will last until November 30.
After that date, you must be vaccinated in order to travel on a plane or train within Canada.
Health Canada has a robust website with all the latest information on COVID-19 vaccines and can answer any questions you may have.
