    You are welcome here in Canada, the Covid is not.
  • I have a passport and a vaccination card that states I have two shots but that isn't good enough? I have two aunts/uncles and a slew of cousins in Victoria, B.C. that I would like to visit.

    its better than what the US is doing for us. no pleasure restrictions lifted at all for Canadians.
  • capacitor,

    Sorry. You do have to follow the rules. And that means registering online.

    You must use ArriveCAN to enter your proof of vaccination, quarantine and travel information.

    If you don't provide the required information in ArriveCAN before arriving at the border you won't be considered for the exemption, even if you meet all the other requirements.
