The government has announced new international travel rules to curb the transmission of the disease and its variants. All Canadian airlines have agreed to suspend all flights to and from Mexico and Caribbean countries until April 30, 2021.

Those who enter Canada are responsible for making suitable arrangements for mandatory quarantine, which begins on the day they enter Canada. They are required to submit COVID-19 related information daily, electronically. Further, violating any quarantine or isolation instructions provided to travelers by the officers is an offense under the Quarantine Act. It could lead to severe penalties, including six months in prison or $750,000 in fines. Travelers entering Canada should be quarantining for 14 days if they don't have symptoms. Moreover, foreign citizens won't be able to enter Canada if they have COVID-19 symptoms.

Depending on cases, the reason for traveling may be considered essential by a province, territory, or under Canada's National Strategy for Critical Infrastructure case. However, the Canadian government would only exempt if one's reason for travel is considered essential under the Quarantine Act's emergency orders.
