A roundup of the latest travel restrictions in Canada
Here are the latest COVID-19-related travel restrictions for each province and territory:
Atlantic provinces: On July 3, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and P.E.I. will ease interprovincial travel restrictions within the region, creating a so-called “Atlantic bubble.” Atlantic Canadians will be allowed to travel in the region without having to selfisolate when arriving in another province.
Visitors from provinces and territories outside the bubble will still be required to self-isolate for two weeks before they can travel in the region.
Quebec: Quebec has reopened travel within most of the province, but officials encourage people to limit trips between regions. Police checkpoints remain in Nunavik and the Cree Territory of James Bay to limit non-essential travel into the territories. There are no border closures or self-isolation requirements for out-ofprovince travellers.
Ontario: Ontario strongly discourages non-essential trips, but has yet to lay out formal rules about travel.
Manitoba: Travellers from outside the province are required to self-isolate for two weeks, but those from Western Canada or northwestern Ontario are exempt, as long as they haven’t left the region for the prior two weeks and don’t have COVID-19 symptoms.
The exception applies to B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Yukon, Northwest Territories,
Nunavut and the region of Ontario west of Terrace Bay. Certain types of outof-province professionals are also exempt, including health-care providers, law enforcement and infrastructure workers.
Members of professional sports teams or film crews are also exempt if they’re symptom-free and self-isolate at home for two weeks prior to entering the province.
Saskatchewan: Travel to certain highrisk communities in the north is banned.
Recreational travel within the province is permitted but restricted. Only Saskatchewan residents are allowed to camp in provincial parks.
Alberta: There are no border closures or checkpoints. However, officials are advising against non-essential travel in or out of the province until the next phase of Alberta’s reopening strategy.
British Columbia: Hotels, motels, spas, resorts, hostels and RV parks are allowed to resume operating. Borders are open, although non-essential travel to and from other provinces is discouraged. Some First Nations communities don’t want visitors.
Nunavut: N.W.T. residents have to fill out a form before they can enter Nunavut. Travel from the rest of Canada is banned.
Northwest Territories: The borders are closed to leisure travellers, except for Nunavut residents.
Yukon: Travel restrictions between Yukon and B.C. are set to be lifted July 1, when travellers between the province and territory will no longer be required to selfisolate for 14 days. Territorial parks and campgrounds have reopened for summer.
