COVID-19 travel requirements

All travellers entering Alberta from outside Canada must have appropriate plans and the necessary supports in place to quarantine for 14 days (in the case that this is required). Travellers will be required to submit their quarantine plans through the ArriveCAN mobile app before boarding a flight back to Canada or arriving at the land border crossing.

Consider the following in your plan:

• the location of your 14-day quarantine
• how you will travel to your quarantine location
• how you will avoid close contact with people in your household, especially seniors and people with chronic conditions or compromised immune systems
• how you will get necessary supplies and supports (food, medication, cleaning supplies, child care and pet care)
• social or family support (you can’t visit anyone or have visitors while in quarantine)
• travellers must present proof of a negative COVID-19 pre-travel test result to the airline before boarding a flight to Canada or to the border agents upon entry if entering Canada by land

1. Register and submit your travel, contact and quarantine information using the ArriveCAN mobile app within 72 hours of your planned arrival.

   • If partially or non-vaccinated, proceed to your reserved quarantine hotel room where you will quarantine for up to 3 nights while you await the results of your COVID-19 arrival test. Then proceed to your home or quarantine location to complete the remainder of the 14-day quarantine period.
   • If fully vaccinated, proceed to your final destination with no quarantine required. No further travel restrictions apply.
5. Complete a follow-up test on day 8 after arriving in Canada (partially and non-vaccinated travellers only).
