Unvaccinated and partially vaccinated kids ages five to 11 will no longer need a COVID-19 test to enter Canada. The federal government said on Friday that beginning on April 25 at 12:01 a.m. ET, children in that age group who are accompanied by a fully vaccinated parent, step parent, guardian or tutor will no longer be required to complete a pre-entry COVID-19 test.
However, pre-entry tests will still be required for partially vaccinated or unvaccinated travellers ages 12 and older who are currently eligible to travel to Canada. Children under five years of age are not required to provide a COVID-19 test result, the government added.
The easement of border rules comes after Ottawa decided to scrap pre-arrival COVID-19 PCR testing requirements for fully vaccinated travellers at the end of February.
