Canada has confirmed it is removing all remaining Covid-19 entry restrictions from this weekend.
Canada is scrapping all testing and quarantine, officials announced.
So mandatory use of the ArriveCAN app will no longer be necessary, said Minister of Health Jean-Yves Duclos.
And masks on planes and trains will no longer be mandatory, said Omar Alghabra, the Minister of Transport.
But Alghabra had a bob each way, saying officials still strongly encourage travellers to wear them.
Both ministers praised the vaccination rate as a main reason the restrictions could be rolled back.
Airlines will no longer need to review the vaccination status of foreign nationals.
So as you were.
But just a reminder not to pack any prescription medicine in your baggage.
If Air Canada - which suffered mightily during Covid - loses your bag you'll find Australian prescriptions are not accepted in Canada, and it is as hard get a doctor's appointment there as it is in Australia.
An expensive online consultation may be your only option.
