COVID-19 Travel to BC
Travelling within Canada
The Government of Canada requires travellers to be fully vaccinated and show proof of vaccination to use federally regulated methods of travel:
- Departing from any Canadian airport
- Travelling on VIA Rail and Rocky Mountaineer trains
- Staying on a non-essential passenger vessel for more than 24 hours (like a cruise ship)
- BC Ferries does not require proof of vaccination
Note: For travel within Canada, you're considered fully vaccinated 14 days after you get your second dose of vaccine.
If you are travelling to B.C. from another province, you do not need to self-quarantine when entering B.C. While you are visiting BC, you are expected to follow the same guidelines as everyone else and travel safely and respectfully.
Travelling from outside Canada
Check and follow both the federal and provincial restrictions and requirements before travelling.
- Find out if you can enter Canada
- Check the Province of BC website to see if they have further restrictions
- Meet all the entry requirements for your situation:
