WHATSAPP
Canada has eased-out its restrictions and will soon allow travelers to enter Canada. However, just like many other countries, those traveling to Canada are required to use the ArriveCAN app to furnish additional travel details. This legal requirement is mandatory from November 21 onwards.
What is ArriveCAN?
ArriveCAN is a free mobile-based and web-based application introduced by the Canadian government to help travelers comply with the border measures. It can either be downloaded as a mobile app or one can sign in to the app online via any web browser.
#1 Before Arriving in Canada: All important information, including travel and contact information, quarantine plan (not required if exempted), and a COVID-19 symptom self-assessment, needs to be furnished through the ArriveCAN app.
Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA) officers will digitally verify the submitted information. There are penal provisions upto a fine of $1,000 for the ones who fail to submit the required information.
Air Carriers will play a crucial role in sending reminders to submit the required information digitally through ArriveCAN before boarding the flight.
#2 After Arriving in Canada: A 14-day quarantine period is mandated for all travelers to Canada barring few exceptions. Daily updates on their activities will be monitored through the ArriveCAN app.
The Canadian government had already cleared their stance on user privacy. ArriveCAN app does not contain any GPS to track the traveler’s movements.
Those who have not used the ArriveCAN app before boarding the flight to Canada need to submit their daily information by dialing the toll-free number: 1-833-641-0343
