Kanada hat für Geimpfte die Grenzen geöffnet …
Kanada hat seit 07.09. die Grenzen für Geimpfte geöffnet. Man benötigt die Impfung (ACHTUNG: Genesene auch doppelte Impfung). Dann muss man sich bei ETA und ArriveCan registrieren. Ein PCR Test vor Abflug wird gefordert. Bei Ankunft kann man für einen weiteren Test ausgewählt werden.
Nur Geimpfte werden eingelassen
„To qualify for the fully vaccinated traveller exemption, you must:
be eligible to enter Canada on the specific date you enter
have no signs or symptoms of COVID-19
have received the full series of an accepted COVID-19 vaccine or a combination of accepted vaccines
have received your last dose at least 14 days prior to the day you enter Canada
Example: if your last dose was anytime on Thursday July 1st, then Friday July 16th would be the first day that you meet the 14 day condition
upload your proof of vaccination in ArriveCAN
meet all other entry requirements (for example, pre-entry test)
Accepted COVID-19 vaccines in Canada
Pfizer-BioNTech (Comirnaty, tozinameran, BNT162b2)
Moderna (mRNA-1273)
AstraZeneca/COVISHIELD (ChAdOx1-S, Vaxzevria, AZD1222)
Janssen/Johnson & Johnson (Ad26.COV2.S)
Vaccines not currently accepted for fully vaccinated status in Canada:
Bharat Biotech (Covaxin, BBV152 A, B, C)
Cansino (Convidecia, Ad5-nCoV)
Gamalaya (Sputnik V, Gam-Covid-Vac)
Sinopharm (BBIBP-CorV, Sinopharm-Wuhan)
Sinovac (CoronaVac, PiCoVacc)
Vector Institute (EpiVacCorona)
Other
The list of accepted vaccines may expand in the future.
Certified translations
If you received your vaccines outside Canada, it’s still accepted but proof of vaccination must be uploaded digitally in ArriveCAN and must only be in French or English, or certified translation into French or English.
Recovered from COVID-19 with one dose
If you have recovered from COVID-19, you still need a full series of an accepted COVID-19 vaccine or combination of accepted vaccines. If you’ve only had one dose of an accepted vaccine other than Janssen (Johnson & Johnson), you don’t qualify for the fully vaccinated traveller exemption.
No exceptions for partially-vaccinated travellers
At this time, there are no exemptions from testing or quarantine for travellers who haven’t received the full series of a vaccine or a combination of vaccines accepted by the Government of Canada.“
ArriveCan
„You must use ArriveCAN up to 72 hours before your travel to enter your vaccination status and proof of vaccination, quarantine and travel information.
Exceptions
People arriving by boat: you may use ArriveCAN to submit your proof of vaccination up to 72 hours before or when you enter Canada
People with a disability, and other special circumstances may be exempt from using ArriveCAN
Check if you are exempt from using ArriveCAN
If you don’t provide the required information in ArriveCAN before arriving at the border, and you aren’t exempt from using ArriveCAN, you won’t be considered for the exemption, even if you meet all the other requirements.
Providing proof of your vaccination in ArriveCAN
In ArriveCAN, up to 72 hours before your travel, you must provide:
the details of your first dose (date, country and vaccine you received)
the details of your second dose if one was required (i.e., for Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and AstraZeneca/COVISHIELD vaccines)
a photo or PDF file of the record of each dose of your vaccination, such as receipts, cards, or confirmations:
if you received two doses and they are both recorded on a single card or PDF, upload that same image or file for dose 1 and again for dose 2
file formats accepted: PDF, PNG, JPEG or JPG
maximum file size for upload: each image upload has a 2 MB size limit
preferred file format: if you received a PDF file of your vaccination record, upload the PDF rather than an image, since the PDF is clearer and easier to read
these must be in English, French, or a certified translation into English or French
Bring your original proof of vaccination with you while you travel.
Final determination of your vaccination status will be made at the border. You must bring a digital or paper copy of your proof(s) of vaccination with you.“
Testpflicht vor Abflug
„Pre-entry test result requirements
All travellers 5 years of age or older, regardless of citizenship, must provide proof of a COVID-19 test result to enter Canada.
All travellers must provide one of the accepted types of tests, not an antigen test, including those who are fully vaccinated.
…
These tests are considered acceptable molecular tests:
PCR – Polymerase chain reaction
RT-PCR – reverse transcription real time PCR
Quantitative PCR (qPCR)
Nucleic acid test (NAT) or Nucleic acid amplification test (NAATs)
Reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP)
Isothermal amplification
Droplet digital PCR or digital droplet PCR (ddPCR)
Transcription-mediated amplification (TMA)
RNA (Ribonucleic acid)
Ct (cycle threshold)
CRISPR
Sequencing
Next generational sequencing (NGS) or whole genome sequencing (WGS)
Oxford Nanopore sequencing (LamPORE)
Detection of the N gene
Detection of Orf1a/b
Detection of the S gene
Detection of the E gene
Detection of the RdRp gene
These tests use methods such as a nasopharyngeal (NP) swab, nose swab, or saliva sample. At this time, proof of having a vaccine will not replace a negative test result.
The Government of Canada will notify travellers should it become mandatory to obtain COVID-19 molecular tests from specific accredited laboratories or facilities.
…
If you’re flying to Canada, you must take a test within 72 hours of the scheduled departure time of your flight to Canada. Airlines will refuse boarding to travellers who are unable to provide a valid molecular test result.
If you have a connecting flight:
the test must be conducted within 72 hours of the scheduled departure time of your last direct flight to Canada
you may need to schedule the test in your transit city“
