The federal government is eliminating the pre-arrival PCR test requirement for fully vaccinated travelers starting Feb. 28.

Travelers can instead opt for a cheaper rapid antigen test approved by the country they are coming from, taken 24 hours before their scheduled flight or arrival at the land border.

I hope that this will allow us to save some money and stress. Currently, all travelers must provide proof of a negative molecular test, such as a PCR test, within 72 hours of their scheduled flight or land entry into Canada.

Another great news is that restrictions on unvaccinated children younger than 12 and traveling with vaccinated adults are also being lifted.

There is no change in case of unvaccinated travelers. They are still required to be tested on arrival into Canada and must quarantine for 14 days.

Maybe it is not idea situation but I can see the light in the tunnel.
