The change is a departure from Canada’s policy from the early days of the pandemic, and the troubled tourism industry describes it as a significant benefit. Travel agents say they have seen an increase in demand for flights since the change was announced two weeks ago. Domestic tour groups have also reported a large increase in bookings in recent weeks. Although no screening will be required after April 1 for people who are considered fully vaccinated, Health Canada still requires anyone arriving outside the country to wear a mask in public for two weeks. The rules for unvaccinated Canadians and other travelers who are exempt from the vaccine requirement remain unchanged, and these individuals will have to undergo a negative test or data that has been in place for some time after infection to enter the country.
