This mindless bureaucracy is discouraging people from wanting to travel and will severely reduce tourism, leading to more economic woes particularly in border communities. Hopefully voters will keep this in mind when they head to the polls in elections on both sides of the border.
Hearty thanks to you for this information 😇I'll be travelling this week. I am extremely excited to meet my wife after 6 long months! Can't wait to get all the procedures done so I can board the flight and run to her. Thanks again!
I did ArriveCan Advanced CBSA Declaration in internet by web browser , so when I arrive Canada Toronto , I also have to scan my travel document in airport kiosk or special boost and feel again all information to get a kiosk receipt ?.It doesnt make any sense .This actually make a lot of time to do
That’s an interesting point. You do need to scan the passport at arrival, so that the system identifies you. But the fact that you need to input information once again - I guess that’s something they are still working on. Thanks for pointing it out, we will try it out next time we travel to see if the same issue is still there
Hi, Thank you for your help. I have a question I'm traveling to Montreal at the end of this month I have to layover stop in Toronto but my destination is Montreal. But I'm wondering the ArriveCAN should I write Toronto or Montreal? Plus should I have to do another covid test if I'm vaccinated? Which day I should fill out the ArriveCAN if is it the day I'm traveling? Please 🙏
Hi there. If Toronto is just a layover - meaning you don’t leave clear zone in the airport - your final destination should be Montreal. There’s no covid tests required, you just need to be fully vaccinated. The app is filled out within 3 days of your departure and before you board your flight. For example, if you are leaving on August 30th, you can fill it out starting August 27th
Hi there, I had a quick question! If I’m traveling from the United States to Canada and my final destination is Edmonton (YEG), but I have a layover before in Vancouver (YVR), which airport and flight number do I put as my arrival info into ArriveCan? Thank you for your time!
@@natashtepa Hi there, so does that also mean that for the Arrival airport, it would be the Vancouver Int. instead of the Edmonton airport which is the final destination?
@@WarriorsMindAndSpiritOfficial it’s considered to be the flight that first takes you to Canada, even though your final destination is further in Canada. If you put the flight Vancouver-Edmonton, it would technically be internal flight only
hi, thanks for the inf. I will go in Niagara falls USA at the end of this month, and I plan to spend 1 day in the Canadian side ( cross the rainbow bridge walking). Hope they let me in. what is the newest version of the ArriveCAN? also i think there are new changes for full vaccinated (no need address for quarantine or something, i am trying to find out now)
Hi Nancy. ArriveCAN doesn’t have new versions and all the requirement updates are already in it. To the best of our knowledge, fully vaccinated travellers don’t need to provide quarantine plan information (needs to be Canada approved vaccines).
I have watched on Y-Tube videos posted by some people passings from the USA the Canadian borders not completing the arrivCan . Making me feel like a sheep for following all the Canadian rules ...Because I understand these are not the low but rules. We came back from our Europe trip completed are arrivCan and still, my daughter was selected for a mandatory vovid-19 test within 24 h .😷
Around 10+ lack peoples of India already had there Sputnik v vaccine and Indian government not yet approved to have any other vaccine as a booster dose for Sputnik v, are those people allowed to enter canada and quarantine for 14 days(considering them as not vaccinated and allowed to enter in Canada)? By selecting Sputnik v in app? Or they should re-vaccinate with other vaccines approved by WHO?
Hi tha_ravana, rules are changing very quickly these days and we already recommend to check official sources for an up to date information. At the time of this publication, if you don’t have residency in Canada and are vaccinated by one of the NOT approved vaccines in Canada, like Sputnik, you are, unfortunately, not allowed to enter Canada. Please check this questionnaire for more details and keep monitoring possible changing: travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/wizard-start
3:36 It’s possible to take a picture of my passport with my cellphone without using a scanner machine, right? We basically take a picture of our passport according to the picture on the cellphone screen while using that apps?
Hi Daniel. Yes, if you fill out ArriveCAN through the phone app, the first time you do it, you will be offered to scan your passport (same as shown in our video on 3:36). The system will then auto fill all passport details from that picture. For every next time you need to fill out ArriveCAN, the passport info will already be there
Hi David. I believe it’s automatic. When you close the app, it will save all the progress. When you open the app again, you will have to go through the steps again, but they will be pre-filled with your previous information
Hi, thank you for the explanation. I just have one question, i am fully vaccinated and even got a booster. (so 3 jabs) They ask to upload 2 forms, do i upload the first 2 or the second and the boostershot? Thank you.
Thank you for the video, it made it much more simple. Would you happen to know if I would fill it out on my PC, and print it out for my dad, they would accept a printed version instead of the app? His old phone doesn't allow the app to be downloaded. Thanks!
What is meant by "Commercial Goods" in the CBSA Declaration? I am bringing in 3 months supply of my metformin(glucophage) medicines. How should I describe this?
Hi there. Usually it’s allowed to bring up to 90-days supply of medication for personal use. You can read about it in more detail here: www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/drugs-health-products/compliance-enforcement/importation-exportation/personal-use-health-products-guidance/document.html
Starting point of my flight is Azerbaijan, but I’m transiting from Qatar to enter Canada. So, what I should write to the “country of original departure”? Azerbaijan or Qatar?
You can choose “discretionary travel”, since CUAET gives a temporary visitor visa. When you arrive, you will be invited by the officers to have some paper work done related to CUAET, like work permit. My relatives did that recently and it took them couple of hours - so be prepared for that
Thank you for the great video. Do you know … if you previously uploaded a Covid vaccination document (after 2 shots) but would now like to update that status (now have been doubled boosted), can you upload the new updated document somehow - will the app provide that ability? Thank you!
Hi there. Technically, you are required to provide Dose 1 and Dose 2 confirmations only. Boosters are not mandatory at this moment. In terms of app’s capabilities, yes, it will allow you to replace the documents that you’ve uploaded previously
Can I edit my airport destination after I have submitted a different airport in the ArriveCAN. Incase I am able to change my landing port at the airport.
Hi Chidubem. If you already submitted your application and received a QR code, you won’t be able to edit any information in it - you will have to start over with the new application.
@@natashtepa thank you for your response. To further my questions, will there be a problem if I submit a new application or I am allowed to do that. Can they dismiss the previous application and QR code. Can you have 2 QR codes.
@@chidubemogugua3931 yes, you can submit new application without any issues. There’s no restrictions. It will automatically cancel the previous one, so you will have to use the new QR code from your latest application
hi there, thank you for the video!! it was really helpful to me. i‘m flying from germany to turkey and then from turkey to vancouver. i‘m assuming i have to put the flight information of the germany-turkey flight first when they ask for my flight information (even if it makes little sense to me :‘))?
Hi there. You need to put in the flight that takes you to Canada, so Turkey to Vancouver. But the country of origin would be Germany, since Turkey is your transit country only
@@santamariamike hi Mike. You can find all information about ArriveCAN on this website: www.canada.ca/en/border-services-agency/services/arrivecan.html
I live in USA going on vacation to Canada by car this June 2022. Can I create an account in Arrivecan app and fill out to freate an account. Then when ready to leave add information within 72 hours before crossing border. I am fully vaccinated. So do I still need a pcr test
Hi Janet. Yes, you can fill out your application in advance and save it as a draft. As for entry test, currently fully vaccinated travellers are exempted from mandatory pre arrival testing, so you should be good. Considering the rules are changing very frequently, we recommend checking official website regarding entry to Canada prior to your trip. But it seems like restrictions are easing up now with the warmer season. Safe travels!
Hi, thank you very much fro the video - I have a question - I have EU proof of vaccination on English, but it only indicates the date of my last received dose. I mean, it says that I've been vaccinated 2 times, but only 2nd dose information is indicated. How can I upload this to Arrivecan if it asks for 1st and 2nd dose?
Hi Dorian, I believe the app lets you fill out vaccine information manually, so you can use that option to specify information about dose 1. As for the uploads, the app allows to upload one image, so you can upload your EU certificate there
Hi, I would know, which one do I have to choose for travelling as tourist by the Declaration? QUESTION: What is your purpose of your trip to canada? - Personal / In-Transit - Study - Work/Employment - Immigrate
Hi, I took sputnik-v as vaccine which is not in the accepted vaccines list of canada, I have read somewhere that I will not be receiving the ArriveCAN receipt, is it true? I am worried if I am allowed to canada, kindly reply.
Hi Kolavennu, unfortunately, at this point Sputnik is not accepted as approved vaccine in Canada. Based on current rules you will not qualify as fully vaccinated travellers and will not be allowed to enter Canada. Please keep an eye on the news as current rules will be updated after September 30th
It would be great if you could do up a video showing the steps if arriving by land? Many Canadians drive to the USA and return through a land crossing. If you are able to do up a video that shows the steps if arriving by land, it'll get some views. :) Thanks for this video ! It was helpful!
@@rvrswmr1953 if ur fully vaccinated you do not need to test or provide any quarantine details to them at the land border. Just show them digital or physical copy of your vaccine card. Which will be with them when sign up for arrivecan.
Hi Questions, is there a quarantine even fully vaccinated? . or traveling canada is there a need of negative rt pcr test ? I expect to flight this month a Filipino from Riyadh Saudi Arabia going to Calgary alberta. connecting flight. Thank you .
Hi Allan. PCR test is not required at this point., and no quarantine if you’re fully vaccinated. Can you please specify your trip details once again - I didn’t quite understand your itinerary from your message
@@natashtepa I mean maybe this week I will have my flight going to calgary canada from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. i am fully vaccinated. so i ask if they need rt pcr test or quarantine.. You answered my questions and thank you for that.
hi, i have a question. My flight to canada in on June 6. It doesn't let me put flight info...do i have to wait to fill the arrivecan form out until 3 days before the flight? I mean, in my case, I can fill it out only from June 3rd. Is this correct?
Hi there. The app is limiting you to 3 days in advance. But you can pre fill it and input all the information other than you flight date (just do a placeholder for now) and save it as a draft. And once you’re in that 72 hours window, you can finish your application with actual flight details and everything else will already be saved in the app.
It's Dec 2023. I've just returned from Dominican Republic to Canada. I did registered and filled out all the information on my arriveCan application. When I arrived at Toronto international, there is no option for using this app. I had to go through the regular kiosk, passport, scanning procedure, etc. Seems like pretty useless arriveCan app to me.
Interesting. Thank you for sharing your experience! This app has mostly been used for COVID travel restriction times. Currently it is supposed to help with declaration submission on the border, but it looks like it depends on the airport’s systems🤷🏼 You can report this issue to Canadian Border Services - it might help in the future
You’re welcome! For your information, ArriveCAN is not mandatory anymore. You can still choose to submit it - it will help you save time at the arrival. When are you planning to visit Canada?
Arrive Can needs to be removed! No Canadian has to do this! Says so right on your passport. Government can not deny entry to any Canadian. Stop helping the gov't take away our rights!
Technically, a Canadian citizen won’t be denied entrance, even if they are not vaccinated, as required by current public health safety rules. They may be mandated to quarantine and pay a fine - that’s true - but not denied entry.
hi, thank you so much for this detailed information! I will come to Canada as international student in June. My final destination is Toronto but the flight will be transfered from Vancouver. I would like to know that what should I put for the "arrival airport" in the arrivecan? Toronto or Vancouver? and do I need to complete another time before I arrive Toronto from Vancouver? Thank you~~
Hi Ray, to the best of our knowledge, you should put in the flight that first brings you to Canada. So it should be Vancouver in your case. For the final destination, you can mention Toronto or wherever you will be staying
Hey, I was wondering which arrival airport to put into ArriveCAN since my family and I are flying to Toronto as our final destination but will be laying over at Montreal for around 2 hours? It only gives me the option to select 1 airport and 1 flight number
Hi! Actually we will be traveling to Canada this Nov 2022 and will be entering via Montreal Airport so basically we are aware that we should do this arrivecan and CBSA declaration? But after one week will be traveling to halifax and entering via halifax steinfied airport, so my question is do I need to do another arrivecan and CBSA declaration since it is another airport? Do I have to delete first my previous arrivecan and cbsa to do another one? Little confused about this, kindly help
Hi Margo. As of October 1st, 2022 ArriveCAN is no longer mandatory. You are not required to submit it. If you do have items that are required to be declared, you can submit a declaration through ArriveCAN for convenience, or fill out right on the border. Regarding different airports, if after Montreal you are leaving Canada and flying to Halifax from another country, you’ll need to submit your declaration again. But you have an internal flight from Montreal to Halifax - no need for that.
Hi Nata my flight from Ho Chi Minh airport Vietnam to Whitehorse yukon and got 2 stop at Narita Tokyo and Vancouver airport so what my departure country ? And arrival destination? And also my last destination flight is Whitehorse airport do I need to do declaration and get custom check vancouver airport ? Or I get it check in Whitehorse airport ? Please let me know thank you !
Hi Jenny. You need to specify the flight that first takes you to Canada. In your case it will be Tokyo-Vancouver. When they ask you what country you are flying from and where you’ve been staying for the previous 14 day, you need to say Vietnam. As for the customs, it all depends on how you booked your flight. If you are not leaving a clear zone in Vancouver and are just in transit, that means you don’t have to go through customs there
Hi there! The arrival airport is the one through which you first enter Canada. Most likely, you will have to go through border security when you land and before you can board your next flight. How does your itinerary look llike?
Try to start new application and ship the scan part, go straight to manual option. If the error appears again, try using web browser or contacting ArriveCAN technical support
Hi Barbara. As per current rules, you are still required to submit ArriveCAN. Please take a look at this link for more information, see paragraph “Driving through Canada”: travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/border#driving
Thanks for sharing the video, I have a question: what if you are unvaccinated and had covid 7 months ago? Do I have to upload the positive covid( which was more than 7 months)and upload a negative test 72 hrs before the flight instead of the vaccine proof? Any idea on what to be uploaded for unvaccinated passengers
Hi Amany, if you are a foreign national and not a Canadian resident, unfortunately, at this point you won’t be allowed to enter Canada. Currently you are required to have 2 doses of approved vaccines, recovery from COVID doesn’t count. Current rules are in place at least until end of September, so if you are traveling after this date, you may need to check updated information further down the road.
Hi there. It shouldn’t be a Canadian number, just a number you can be reached at while in Canada. Meaning, it can be your cell phone number you use in your home country, but it should be working while you’re in Canada
"Exemption" ?? Cruise Norwegian, Seattle to Alaska, with 8pm-midnight stop at Victoria BC last stop. If I do Not get off Ship, can I qualify for an Exemption, since I will not set-foot on Canadian soil, and staying in a Secure Area *Cruise Ship* ?? Where do I get 'the Exemption', I talked to an ARRIVECAN employee, he did not know, if Cruise Ship qualifies, for a 'Secure Area'. Would appreciate an answer, 'If You know it' ??
Hi Chuck, to the best of our knowledge, if you are not leaving the ship, you are not entering the territory of Canada, so you don’t need to have ArriveCAN application
WOW!!! Awesome video. Question: I open the app and it says at the top of the screen: Help Save time at the kiosk/EGate by submitting your declaration in Advance. Further down it says: Start your Advance CBSA Declaration (optional). I will be driving into Canada from Niagara Falls so where does it say on the app where I'll be DRIVING into Canada??? If I hit the START button it says "Advance CBSA Declaration privacy statement. If I hit "I consent" it says Please wait while we get your advance CBSA Declaration ready. When I hot Continue it says Select your airport. But I will be driving into Canada. Not taking a plane. Please help! Thanks
Hi Scott, since ArriveCAN application is no longer mandatory, they have changed it a bit since we’ve posted this video. It is now used only for customs declaration in cases when you do need to declare something when crossing the border. If you would usually go through green corridor, than it shouldn’t apply. On the other hand, if you want to use it for declaration submission, at this point they only let you do it for select airports. Not for ground crossing unfortunately. Do you plan do declare something when you enter Canada or you are checking this option just in case?
@@natashtepa WOW!!!! Thanks Nate!!!! Your a life saver. We're so glad they no longer use ArrivCan when driving into Canada from USA. We plan to drive from WV and stay at Niagara Falls USA in June then drive into Toronto for the day. Should be fun fighting the traffic eh?? lol. Thanks again for the update guys!

I'm planning to work in Canada and I am fully vaccinated by Sputnik. But it was not acknowledge by the Canadian government. What should I do? I already take the booster pfizer. Is this enough? Or I need to take the 1st dose and 2nd dose of pfizer?
Hi Oscar. Current rules don’t accept Sputnik as one of approved vaccines. In your case, you will be considered “not fully vaccinated” and will have to quarantine at the address you provide at AreiveCAN - officials will be contacting you and checking on your symptoms etc. You can choose to have your second dose of approved vaccine before coming to Canada, but this needs to be done at least 14 days before your flight. In this case you will be considered fully vaccinated
hey, so when filling out flight details, where it says country of original departure for example if i departure from Pakistan to Amsterdam to toronto pearson airport. do i put Pakistan or amsterdam there?
Hi Rajwinder. If you haven’t got your receipt yet, you can save draft and complete it later with correct information . If you already completed the app and have your receipt, don’t worry, there won’t be any issues at the border. You just need to fill out your application one more time with correct information and use this new receipt when you arrive
I am from india traveling to canada with work permit, my wife will be traveling with me, she has dependant visitor visa but she is from Sri Lanka, both are fully vaccinated. Now should I create two separate account for me and my wife or just one account is fine both traveller details?

Hi there, I‘ve got an another question that is bugging me for quite some time now. I‘m visiting Canada to do an internship for a non-profit organisation (which is why i don‘t need a visa to enter). It is a requirement to do so for my major at university where I live. Which option am I supposed to choose when they ask me for my purpose of traveling then? I failed to find a matching option for my specific situation. Thank you in advance! :)
Hi there. I’m not sure of your visitor status details. This might be considered as a discretionary/optional travel if you don’t require a work permit for your type of visit. If you are still hesitant, I suggest you contact an immigration lawyer for consultation

Hi there, I am a foreign visitor and have two stops (Tokyo and Vancouver) before arriving to my final destination (edmonton).. which means I will be changing flights two times before arriving in edmonton.. which flight no. Should i put in the arrivecan apps?
As per information on ArriveCAN website, they are asking to include flight number “for the flight, that will bring you into Canada”. So I assume it would your flight to Vancouver. You can find more information here: www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/coronavirus-disease-covid-19/arrivecan.html

Hi Hai, you need to specify the flight that first takes you to Canada. So it will be Toronto. As for flight number, it’s a free form field and can do either with letters or just numbers, it wouldn’t make much difference
Hello! I have a question, in the travel information section, it is asked there the airline and the flight number: 1.For the airline, our travel path will be Muscat-Frankfurt-Montreal. We booked overall our flight via Lufthansa but from Muscat to Frankfurt it is operated by Oman air then from Frankfurt to Montreal YUL, it is operated by air Canada, so which among these 3 airlines I will put(luftansa/Oman air/air canada)? 2. Which flight number will I also put, the one from Muscat to Frankfurt or from Frankfurt to Montreal, because it's different from each other?
Hi Margo, starting October 1st 2022, ArriveCAN is no longer mandatory. If you still choose to fill it out, it will save you time at the border upon arrival to Canada. To answer you questions, 1. Since you’ve booked through Lufthansa, that will be your airline 2. Flight number will be the one that first brings you to Canada, so Frankfurt to Montreal
@@natashtepa Thank you so much for your fast response!!! Our flight is in 2 days so I'm planning to fill out the Arrivecan right now and I feel more assured👍

Hi Rafael. To the best of our knowledge, if you’re not going through customs in Vancouver (e.g. not leaving clear zone and not picking up your luggage and checking it back in for next flight), your arrival point would be Montreal.
Thank you😊 For your information, ArriveCAN is no longer mandatory (starting Oct 2022). It is now optional and is made for convenience to save you some time at arrival:)
Hello there, Is it okay if I complete putting details in the ArriveCAN app before 72 hours of my flight, like a week earlier or something? I like to do things in advance. Let me know, if that’s okay.
Hi Irfanul, I believe there’s a limitation when you choose your day of arrival - it only gives you an option to choose three days in advance. You can put a placeholder date at this step, proceed with other steps and save your draft. Make sure to actually complete the application no more than 72 hours in advance, so that your receipt is valid. And at this point you can update it with your actual date of arrival.
Can you imagine, some countries even require visas to enter. So freedom to fly is not just about what you want to do, but also about the rules that different countries have
Please go to Troubleshooting section in the bottom of this page or try Contacting the app’s tech service (Contact Us also on this page): www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/coronavirus-disease-covid-19/arrivecan/help.html
Hi there, I'll be traveling the 1st week of August can I start my application now on ArriveCan app now or strictly 72 hours before? Thank you in advance.
Hi Mayra, you can pre-fill the application and save it for later. You’ll have to input placeholder information for your flight, because it only allows you to choose 3 days in advance. When you are ready to submit it 72 hours before your flight, your information will be saved and you will only have to update flight details.
Hi, thanks for your video...can you help me with a query. We travel to Canada with a stopover in Toronto for 2 hours then on to Vancouver...Which airport do I put down as my destination.
Hi Jody. Your destination should be the airport where you go through Canadian border Security. If layover in Toronto is in clear zone, than your destination will be considered Vancouver
It is also stated in the app that failure to complete the application before traveling may result in delays, or fine. And if you are a foreign national- denial of entry
Hi there😀 I wanted to know about the fully vaccination status.. I had taken 2 doses of Sinopharm back in 2021(1st dose in May and 2nd dose in June of 2021) and recently got booster of Pzifer.. Am I qualified as a fully vaccinated; if not what shall i do- take pcr??
Hi Bishan, Sinopharm is on the list of approved vaccines for Canada, so you shouldn’t have any issues with your first two doses. You can check details on approved vaccines here under Accepted Vaccines paragraph: travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/covid-vaccinated-travellers-entering-canada
Hi there. Depends on a lot of factors: are you a resident in Canada or a foreign national, what’s you vaccination status etc. The short answer is: if you are a fully vaccinated Canadian, you don’t need a covid test to board the plane to Canada. We cover more information about this on 03:40

Thanks for the video you're the best 😇😍, I wonder even if we are fully vaccinated and have PCR test results before the flight, is it possible to skip random Covid19 testing pre-arrival to Canada? Thank you,
Thank you Samed:) The arrival testing is absolutely random and you can’t predict whether you will be picked or not. We had to go through it ourselves during our last trip. The good thing is, it doesn’t take much time, not more than 5-10 minutes, and everything is super automated.
hello, I would like to clarify something, the area that says airline and flight number, I we are using connecting flights, are we supposed to use our first flight details or the final destination flight details?
Hi Dan. To the best of our knowledge, in this section you should specify the flight, on which you will be accessing Canada. For example, if you fly Warsaw-Frankfurt-Toronto, this will be a Frankfurt-Toronto flight. And if it’s Frankfurt-Montreal-Toronto, than you should specify Frankfurt-Montreal

Hi J, if you are not leaving the clear zone in the airport in Toronto and have a transit flight (e.g. you don’t have to collect your baggage in Toronto and then register it again), that means you are a transit passenger and do not need ArriveCAN
Hey there, my husband is coming Canada and he is originally coming from india and has some hours stays in other country so here my question is that will he put India or a country which he last stayed for some hours...Moreover, and he has 2hour stay at Toronto airport but his final destination is YVR so will he put YVR airport where arrival airport was asked. Thank u!! Please let me know soon it will be very helpful.
Hi Sukhjinder. Most likely it will count as India to YVR, as the other places are considered layovers. More important thing here is to be sure of his vaccination status. If he is fully vaccinated - download all vaccines. If not, he still needs to do a pre-flight covid test
Hi. Thanks for this apt information. If your arrival time is delayed by the airline for circumstances beyond your control, would you need to edit your arrival time on arrivecan app to put in the new arrival time? & does arrivecan allow one to make changes after his/her application has been submitted?
Hi Charly, no, you don’t need to update the app if the airline delays your flight (unless it’s a several days delay). And no, you can’t edit ArriveCAN application. If you already got your receipt, you would need to start over.
Hi I have a Connecting flight in Toronto and my final destination is Rome, do I have to fill out the ArriveCAN ? And another question I am an american citizen, do I need a visa or something like that to enter Canada ? Im flying from mexico city
Hi Francisco, if you are not leaving the clear zone of the airport in Toronto, then you don’t need to fill out ArriveCAN nor you need a visa - you are a transit passenger and are not entering Canadian territory. And to answer your second question, if you’re entering Canada for tourist purposes, as a US citizen you don’t need to have a visa to Canada
In the app you are required to upload both receipts or one vaccination passport confirming both doses. If you don’t have the paperwork, most likely you will spend a bit more time on the border answering their questions.

@@natashtepa Um so what I wanted to say was that most people get like a V on their Arrivecan but I got an I I was just wondering its because I am a international student or my arrivecan didnt get approved
Thank you so much for the info. I plan to derive from California to Vancouver Canada and stay for 4-5 days; so for the "quarantine plan" can I just select returning home, and provide my home address in the US, or does the address has to be within Canada?
Hi Joanne. There's a list of items that is mandatory for declaration. Personal clothes doesn't require to be declared. If you want to know more, check out paragraph Customs declaration card here: www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/new-immigrants/prepare-life-canada/border-entry.html
We're traveling from the US just to take a cruise and just staying overnight before embarkation and we are all fully vaccinated. Do we still need to have a 14-day quarantine plan?
Hi Eleanor, our assumption is you would need to specify the cruise ship location as your “quarantine plan”. There’s a list of rules for travellers of cruise ships, which you can find here: travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/cruise

Hey, I have a question. I am planning to visit Toronto by 10th June this year. Is there a mandatory condition of RTPCR test needs to be carried out now a days before 72 hours of actual travel?
Hi Charudatta. It all depends on your vaccination status. If you are fully vaccinated by one of the approved vaccines in Canada, you are exempt from pre entry test. Otherwise, you will need a test
Hi there. You should choose Entry by land, and in port of arrival you need to choose the border crossing you will be coming through. Most likely it is going to be Peace Arch if you’re taking Highway 5-Highway 90, but please check your route to see the exact border crossing.
Hi thank you for the great video, I am planning to enter Canada walking from the U.S on the side of Niagra Falls, and I am fully vaccinated, do I need to test for COVID again prior to my trip . Also for the ArriveCAn app what options do I need to select Is it travel by land? Thanks in advance
Hi Ashraf. Currently fully vaccinated travellers are not required to prove a negative test. So you should be fine, as long as you upload your vaccination information in the app. As for travel option, ArriveCAN let’s you pick an option Entry by land. We have details on this at 2:46 You would need to specify your port of entry (choose from the list) and time of arrival.
Hello, when ur at border control do you have to show them your covid certificate. Also do you mind telling me what the QR code indicates when it get scanned by the border security. Thanks
Hi Ahmed, the QR code gives the officers access to the information you provided in your application, like vaccination status, country you arrived from etc. The border control may ask you to show your vaccination confirmation, but most of the time they only need the ArriveCAN information

This mindless bureaucracy is discouraging people from wanting to travel and will severely reduce tourism, leading to more economic woes particularly in border communities. Hopefully voters will keep this in mind when they head to the polls in elections on both sides of the border.

This thing is voluntary for Canadians. It's a COVID temp measure that's over now.
The rules are still in place till September 30th
I did ArriveCan Advanced CBSA Declaration in internet by web browser , so when I arrive Canada Toronto , I also have to scan my travel document in airport kiosk or special boost and feel again all information to get a kiosk receipt ?.It doesnt make any sense .This actually make a lot of time to do
That’s an interesting point. You do need to scan the passport at arrival, so that the system identifies you. But the fact that you need to input information once again - I guess that’s something they are still working on. Thanks for pointing it out, we will try it out next time we travel to see if the same issue is still there
Hi, Thank you for your help. I have a question I'm traveling to Montreal at the end of this month I have to layover stop in Toronto but my destination is Montreal. But I'm wondering the ArriveCAN should I write Toronto or Montreal?
Plus should I have to do another covid test if I'm vaccinated?
Which day I should fill out the ArriveCAN if is it the day I'm traveling?
Please 🙏
Hi there. If Toronto is just a layover - meaning you don’t leave clear zone in the airport - your final destination should be Montreal.
There’s no covid tests required, you just need to be fully vaccinated.
The app is filled out within 3 days of your departure and before you board your flight. For example, if you are leaving on August 30th, you can fill it out starting August 27th
Hi there, I had a quick question! If I’m traveling from the United States to Canada and my final destination is Edmonton (YEG), but I have a layover before in Vancouver (YVR), which airport and flight number do I put as my arrival info into ArriveCan? Thank you for your time!
Do the USA city flight to Vancouver airport.
Hi there. To the best of our knowledge, you need to specify the flight that first takes you to Canada. So that would be the one to Vancouver.
Ask Trudeau he’s a communist
@@natashtepa Hi there, so does that also mean that for the Arrival airport, it would be the Vancouver Int. instead of the Edmonton airport which is the final destination?
@@WarriorsMindAndSpiritOfficial it’s considered to be the flight that first takes you to Canada, even though your final destination is further in Canada. If you put the flight Vancouver-Edmonton, it would technically be internal flight only
hi, thanks for the inf. I will go in Niagara falls USA at the end of this month, and I plan to spend 1 day in the Canadian side ( cross the rainbow bridge walking). Hope they let me in. what is the newest version of the ArriveCAN? also i think there are new changes for full vaccinated (no need address for quarantine or something, i am trying to find out now)
Hi Nancy. ArriveCAN doesn’t have new versions and all the requirement updates are already in it. To the best of our knowledge, fully vaccinated travellers don’t need to provide quarantine plan information (needs to be Canada approved vaccines).
I have watched on Y-Tube videos posted by some people passings from the USA the Canadian borders not completing the arrivCan . Making me feel like a sheep for following all the Canadian rules ...Because I understand these are not the low but rules. We came back from our Europe trip completed are arrivCan and still, my daughter was selected for a mandatory vovid-19 test within 24 h .😷
Filling out the app doesn’t mean you won’t be selected for random testing upon arrival. We have been selected for it too after our last trip
Around 10+ lack peoples of India already had there Sputnik v vaccine and Indian government not yet approved to have any other vaccine as a booster dose for Sputnik v, are those people allowed to enter canada and quarantine for 14 days(considering them as not vaccinated and allowed to enter in Canada)? By selecting Sputnik v in app? Or they should re-vaccinate with other vaccines approved by WHO?
Hi tha_ravana, rules are changing very quickly these days and we already recommend to check official sources for an up to date information. At the time of this publication, if you don’t have residency in Canada and are vaccinated by one of the NOT approved vaccines in Canada, like Sputnik, you are, unfortunately, not allowed to enter Canada.

3:36 It’s possible to take a picture of my passport with my cellphone without using a scanner machine, right? We basically take a picture of our passport according to the picture on the cellphone screen while using that apps?
Hi Daniel. Yes, if you fill out ArriveCAN through the phone app, the first time you do it, you will be offered to scan your passport (same as shown in our video on 3:36). The system will then auto fill all passport details from that picture.
For every next time you need to fill out ArriveCAN, the passport info will already be there
@@natashtepa Thank you! 🙂👍
Save and close comes on automatically or do we have to click on it each time ?
Hi David. I believe it’s automatic. When you close the app, it will save all the progress. When you open the app again, you will have to go through the steps again, but they will be pre-filled with your previous information

Starting point of my flight is Azerbaijan, but I’m transiting from Qatar to enter Canada. So, what I should write to the “country of original departure”? Azerbaijan or Qatar?
You can choose “discretionary travel”, since CUAET gives a temporary visitor visa. When you arrive, you will be invited by the officers to have some paper work done related to CUAET, like work permit. My relatives did that recently and it took them couple of hours - so be prepared for that

Hi Janet. Yes, you can fill out your application in advance and save it as a draft.
As for entry test, currently fully vaccinated travellers are exempted from mandatory pre arrival testing, so you should be good.

Technically, a Canadian citizen won’t be denied entrance, even if they are not vaccinated, as required by current public health safety rules. They may be mandated to quarantine and pay a fine - that’s true - but not denied entry.

Do I have to delete first my previous arrivecan and cbsa to do another one? Little confused about this, kindly help
Hi Margo. As of October 1st, 2022 ArriveCAN is no longer mandatory. You are not required to submit it.
If you do have items that are required to be declared, you can submit a declaration through ArriveCAN for convenience, or fill out right on the border.
Regarding different airports, if after Montreal you are leaving Canada and flying to Halifax from another country, you’ll need to submit your declaration again. But you have an internal flight from Montreal to Halifax - no need for that.

Hi Jenny. You need to specify the flight that first takes you to Canada. In your case it will be Tokyo-Vancouver. When they ask you what country you are flying from and where you’ve been staying for the previous 14 day, you need to say Vietnam.
As for the customs, it all depends on how you booked your flight. If you are not leaving a clear zone in Vancouver and are just in transit, that means you don’t have to go through customs there

Hi Scott, since ArriveCAN application is no longer mandatory, they have changed it a bit since we’ve posted this video.
It is now used only for customs declaration in cases when you do need to declare something when crossing the border. If you would usually go through green corridor, than it shouldn’t apply.

Hi Oscar. Current rules don’t accept Sputnik as one of approved vaccines. In your case, you will be considered “not fully vaccinated” and will have to quarantine at the address you provide at AreiveCAN - officials will be contacting you and checking on your symptoms etc.
You can choose to have your second dose of approved vaccine before coming to Canada, but this needs to be done at least 14 days before your flight. In this case you will be considered fully vaccinated

Hi. I'm traveling back to my home in Canada. I was reading reviews about the app and read a lot of negative feedbacks. Some weren't able to scan their passport and sometimes the app would stop working. Then having to restart again. Is it possible to print and fill out the arrival information instead? Also what is the best way to download the app at this time? Thank you.
Hi Emery. The app is not mandatory at this time. You can proceed to Arrivals in the airport and go through an automated kiosk or to an officer
@@natashtepa. Thank you very much.
Very Very urgent - Please answer me
I’m traveling from the Italy to Canada and my final destination is Ottawa( Yow) , but I have a layover before in Toronto (YYZ), which airport and flight number do I put as my arrival info into ArriveCan? I think ottawa my final destination but I'm not sure
Hi Anto & Deny, to the best of our knowledge, you have to mention the flight that first brings you to Canada. So in your case it will be Toronto
Hi, i’m travelling to canada tomorrow from doha-munich-montreal-ottawa.
Which one should i put as country of origin and port of entry? I’m so confused. Thanks for your help.
Based on other comment its seems i should select munich-montreal but i could be wrong.
Hi Kathrine, to the best of our knowledge, country of origin would be Qatar. And the flight should be the one where you first land in Canada, so Munich-Montreal.
Hi I am going vancouver canada this weekend but my flight layover to Toronto 1st before I arrive to vancouver do I put in the flight number to Toronto? Or vancouver? And when placing the flight number do I input in DLDL (delta) plus the # or do I just input only the # ? Thanks
Hi Hai, you need to specify the flight that first takes you to Canada. So it will be Toronto.
As for flight number, it’s a free form field and can do either with letters or just numbers, it wouldn’t make much difference
What will i tick on the first part if i am newly granted permanent resident maam..is it the " other"? Thanks for the answer..
Hi Donald, it can be either or. If you don’t have your PR card yet, I would suggest choosing “other”
Do I still need ArriveCan if we are only entering Canada as our connecting flight, with 2hrs lay over only?
Hi Mercy. If you are not leaving the clear zone and are staying in Canadian airport, you do not need to fill out ArriveCAN
Hello! I have a question, in the travel information section, it is asked there the airline and the flight number:
1.For the airline, our travel path will be Muscat-Frankfurt-Montreal. We booked overall our flight via Lufthansa but from Muscat to Frankfurt it is operated by Oman air then from Frankfurt to Montreal YUL, it is operated by air Canada, so which among these 3 airlines I will put(luftansa/Oman air/air canada)?
2. Which flight number will I also put, the one from Muscat to Frankfurt or from Frankfurt to Montreal, because it's different from each other?
Hi Margo, starting October 1st 2022, ArriveCAN is no longer mandatory. If you still choose to fill it out, it will save you time at the border upon arrival to Canada.
To answer you questions,
1. Since you’ve booked through Lufthansa, that will be your airline
2. Flight number will be the one that first brings you to Canada, so Frankfurt to Montreal
@@natashtepa Thank you so much for your fast response!!! Our flight is in 2 days so I'm planning to fill out the Arrivecan right now and I feel more assured👍
@@margojumie2330 you’re welcome🙂 have a safe trip!
Don't tell people what they need to do !!!!
No body needs to do it its a scam to control you !!!
We are not telling people what to do. We are describing our own experience and give guidance to how to fill out the app in case this can be helpful to others who need to use it
If travelling back to canada with child below 5 years and child not vaccinated. Do we need covid negative for the child? Do we have to fill arrivecan seperately for the child or can add child in the same application??
Hi there. Here’s a quote from ArriveCAN website: “Children under 5 are exempt from vaccination requirements. They are also exempt from pre-entry testing, arrival testing and quarantine, without any limitations on their activities”
@@natashtepa thanks 👍
Hello can i ask a question my final destination in canada is montreal and i have a layover in vancouver?i will put montreal or vancouver in my arrival?thank you
Hi Rafael. To the best of our knowledge, if you’re not going through customs in Vancouver (e.g. not leaving clear zone and not picking up your luggage and checking it back in for next flight), your arrival point would be Montreal.
Thank you for the info. Please make more videos on how to enslave ourselves.
Glad you liked the video
Nice info 👍 I will be visiting family in summer so watching this video helps how to fill in ArriveCAN 🙌☺
Thank you😊
For your information, ArriveCAN is no longer mandatory (starting Oct 2022). It is now optional and is made for convenience to save you some time at arrival:)
@@natashtepa super cool guys 👍:)
Hello there,
Is it okay if I complete putting details in the ArriveCAN app before 72 hours of my flight, like a week earlier or something?
I like to do things in advance.
Let me know, if that’s okay.
Hi Irfanul, I believe there’s a limitation when you choose your day of arrival - it only gives you an option to choose three days in advance. You can put a placeholder date at this step, proceed with other steps and save your draft. Make sure to actually complete the application no more than 72 hours in advance, so that your receipt is valid. And at this point you can update it with your actual date of arrival.
@@natashtepa Thank you very much for the reply. Means a lot.
@@irfanulkarim4992 you’re welcome, Irfanul, all the best!
this app is creepy and what about freedom to fly any where without it ?
Can you imagine, some countries even require visas to enter. So freedom to fly is not just about what you want to do, but also about the rules that different countries have
Hi. If I’m traveling my plane do I put the time my flight leaves or the time my flight lands?
Hi Yitzy, it should be arrival time
How to tackle notification of network problem etc as it doesn't work
Please go to Troubleshooting section in the bottom of this page or try Contacting the app’s tech service (Contact Us also on this page): www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/coronavirus-disease-covid-19/arrivecan/help.html
Hi there, I'll be traveling the 1st week of August can I start my application now on ArriveCan app now or strictly 72 hours before? Thank you in advance.
Hi Mayra, you can pre-fill the application and save it for later. You’ll have to input placeholder information for your flight, because it only allows you to choose 3 days in advance. When you are ready to submit it 72 hours before your flight, your information will be saved and you will only have to update flight details.
Hi, thanks for your video...can you help me with a query. We travel to Canada with a stopover in Toronto for 2 hours then on to Vancouver...Which airport do I put down as my destination.
Hi Jody. Your destination should be the airport where you go through Canadian border Security. If layover in Toronto is in clear zone, than your destination will be considered Vancouver
@@natashtepa Thank you
It is not mandatory as stated in the app itself . Mis/disinformation false
It is also stated in the app that failure to complete the application before traveling may result in delays, or fine. And if you are a foreign national- denial of entry
Hi there😀 I wanted to know about the fully vaccination status.. I had taken 2 doses of Sinopharm back in 2021(1st dose in May and 2nd dose in June of 2021) and recently got booster of Pzifer.. Am I qualified as a fully vaccinated; if not what shall i do- take pcr??
Hi Bishan, Sinopharm is on the list of approved vaccines for Canada, so you shouldn’t have any issues with your first two doses.
You can check details on approved vaccines here under Accepted Vaccines paragraph: travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/covid-vaccinated-travellers-entering-canada
I’m travelling back to canada soon. Do I still need to have a covid test?
Hi there. Depends on a lot of factors: are you a resident in Canada or a foreign national, what’s you vaccination status etc. The short answer is: if you are a fully vaccinated Canadian, you don’t need a covid test to board the plane to Canada. We cover more information about this on 03:40
YOU DON'T NEED A COVID TEST EVEN IF YOU ARE A FOREIGN NATIONAL
@@Carolinapetroska that only applies if you are fully vaccinated
I'm quite confused on what arrival airport I use.. my main destination is Edmonton but I have a layover in Toronto.. I should use Edmonton right?
Your final destination is Edmonton, but for the flight you need to mention the one that first takes you to Canada. So it will be the flight to Toronto
@@natashtepa thanks for clarification coz I called Air Canada and they told me to use Edmonton instead of my 1st port of entry which is Toronto.. the csr said don't use Toronto since its only lay over.. ok so use Toronto since that is my 1st point of entry to Canada
@@natashtepa thank you so much for your help
Thanks for the video you're the best 😇😍,
I wonder even if we are fully vaccinated and have PCR test results before the flight, is it possible to skip random Covid19 testing pre-arrival to Canada?
Thank you,
Thank you Samed:)
The arrival testing is absolutely random and you can’t predict whether you will be picked or not. We had to go through it ourselves during our last trip. The good thing is, it doesn’t take much time, not more than 5-10 minutes, and everything is super automated.
no
hello,
I would like to clarify something, the area that says airline and flight number, I we are using connecting flights, are we supposed to use our first flight details or the final destination flight details?
Hi Dan. To the best of our knowledge, in this section you should specify the flight, on which you will be accessing Canada. For example, if you fly Warsaw-Frankfurt-Toronto, this will be a Frankfurt-Toronto flight. And if it’s Frankfurt-Montreal-Toronto, than you should specify Frankfurt-Montreal
@@natashtepa okay, makes more sense now, thank you so much
hi
so if i’m traveling with the airline KLM and i’m going from india to amstemdam to canada. but air india is frist taking me to bombay( also in india) should i put air india’s flight number or klms that’s taking me to amsterdam then canada?
Hi Komal, you should put the flight that first takes you to Canada. So the one from Amsterdam
@@natashtepa
thank you so much
@@komalphull725 you’re welcome, safe travels
Thank you for this video, so helpful. I would just like to clarify. I'm flying from London to Vegas in September with WestJet, and have a connecting flight in Toronto. I already have purchased an eTA for $7, because I am getting a connecting flight to a different country, is this ArriveCan app not necessary? Thank you
Hi J, if you are not leaving the clear zone in the airport in Toronto and have a transit flight (e.g. you don’t have to collect your baggage in Toronto and then register it again), that means you are a transit passenger and do not need ArriveCAN
Hey there, my husband is coming Canada and he is originally coming from india and has some hours stays in other country so here my question is that will he put India or a country which he last stayed for some hours...Moreover, and he has 2hour stay at Toronto airport but his final destination is YVR so will he put YVR airport where arrival airport was asked. Thank u!! Please let me know soon it will be very helpful.
Hi Sukhjinder. Most likely it will count as India to YVR, as the other places are considered layovers. More important thing here is to be sure of his vaccination status. If he is fully vaccinated - download all vaccines. If not, he still needs to do a pre-flight covid test
Hi sukhjinder could you tell me what you have put in the question reason for visiting canada...is it family reunion or worker please reply thanks.
@@parneetkaur6487 it was work
Hi. Thanks for this apt information. If your arrival time is delayed by the airline for circumstances beyond your control, would you need to edit your arrival time on arrivecan app to put in the new arrival time? & does arrivecan allow one to make changes after his/her application has been submitted?
Hi Charly, no, you don’t need to update the app if the airline delays your flight (unless it’s a several days delay).
And no, you can’t edit ArriveCAN application. If you already got your receipt, you would need to start over.
@@natashtepa Thanks a bunch. This is a very useful information. God bless
@@charly-cmusiq653 you’re welcome😊
Hi I have a Connecting flight in Toronto and my final destination is Rome, do I have to fill out the ArriveCAN ? And another question I am an american citizen, do I need a visa or something like that to enter Canada ? Im flying from mexico city
Hi Francisco, if you are not leaving the clear zone of the airport in Toronto, then you don’t need to fill out ArriveCAN nor you need a visa - you are a transit passenger and are not entering Canadian territory.
And to answer your second question, if you’re entering Canada for tourist purposes, as a US citizen you don’t need to have a visa to Canada
Hello! I only have a second vaccination certificate. wouldn't that be a problem?
In the app you are required to upload both receipts or one vaccination passport confirming both doses. If you don’t have the paperwork, most likely you will spend a bit more time on the border answering their questions.
@@natashtepa Thanks for your reply! In my vaccination passport information about the second dose only

Thank you so much for the info. I plan to derive from California to Vancouver Canada and stay for 4-5 days;
so for the "quarantine plan" can I just select returning home, and provide my home address in the US, or does the address has to be within Canada?
Hi Mohammed. or quarantine plan they require an address in Canada. If you qualify as a fully vaccinated traveler, you are exempt from quarantine plan
hello good day!. i just wanna about the declaration. what if they just bring a clothes. do they need to fill a declaration? thank you
Hi Joanne. There's a list of items that is mandatory for declaration. Personal clothes doesn't require to be declared.

We're traveling from the US just to take a cruise and just staying overnight before embarkation and we are all fully vaccinated. Do we still need to have a 14-day quarantine plan?
Hi Eleanor, our assumption is you would need to specify the cruise ship location as your “quarantine plan”. There’s a list of rules for travellers of cruise ships, which you can find here: travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/cruise

Hey, I have a question. I am planning to visit Toronto by 10th June this year. Is there a mandatory condition of RTPCR test needs to be carried out now a days before 72 hours of actual travel?
Hi Charudatta. It all depends on your vaccination status. If you are fully vaccinated by one of the approved vaccines in Canada, you are exempt from pre entry test. Otherwise, you will need a test
If I am driving from Washington to Richmond, BC, what should I choose for first port of arrival in Canada?
Hi there. You should choose Entry by land, and in port of arrival you need to choose the border crossing you will be coming through. Most likely it is going to be Peace Arch if you’re taking Highway 5-Highway 90, but please check your route to see the exact border crossing.
@@natashtepa got it. Appreciate for your response!
@@lchen185 no problem😉 safe travels!
Hi thank you for the great video, I am planning to enter Canada walking from the U.S on the side of Niagra Falls, and I am fully vaccinated, do I need to test for COVID again prior to my trip . Also for the ArriveCAn app what options do I need to select Is it travel by land? Thanks in advance
Hi Ashraf. Currently fully vaccinated travellers are not required to prove a negative test. So you should be fine, as long as you upload your vaccination information in the app.
As for travel option, ArriveCAN let’s you pick an option Entry by land. We have details on this at 2:46
You would need to specify your port of entry (choose from the list) and time of arrival.
@@natashtepa Thank you very much 😊 🙏

Hello, when ur at border control do you have to show them your covid certificate. Also do you mind telling me what the QR code indicates when it get scanned by the border security. Thanks
Hi Ahmed, the QR code gives the officers access to the information you provided in your application, like vaccination status, country you arrived from etc.
The border control may ask you to show your vaccination confirmation, but most of the time they only need the ArriveCAN information
