Instead of a PCR test, Canadians will be required to show proof of a negative antigen test, similar to the United States.
the federal government would announce changes to pandemic measures at Canada’s borders next week.
Foreign nationals coming to Canada, and those travelling within the country by plane, passenger train or boat, must be vaccinated, with some exceptions.
