About Canadian COVID-19 proof of vaccination
The Canadian COVID-19 proof of vaccination is a secure and reliable way to show proof of your COVID-19 vaccination history when you travel outside of Canada. It's meant to simplify and help with border processing abroad.
This proof:
- was developed by provinces and territories with support from the Government of Canada
- is a recognized, trusted document that has been shared with our international partners
The Canadian COVID-19 proof of vaccination is available across Canada, though your province or territory may call it by a different name. For instance, it's also referred to as the 'pan-Canadian', 'standardized' or 'travel' proof of vaccination.
Some provinces may still issue a separate provincial COVID-19 proof of vaccination with a QR (quick response) code in addition to the Canadian COVID-19 proof of vaccination. However, you should only use the Canadian COVID-19 proof of vaccination when you travel internationally.
It's recommended to download a recent version of your COVID-19 proof of vaccination prior to your departure outside of Canada. Once you get your Canadian COVID-19 proof of vaccination, you can access it:
- as a digital file on a mobile device, computer or mobile wallet
- on paper by printing the PDF file with the QR code
If you were vaccinatedoutsideof your province or territory, you may register your vaccination records with your home province or territory. Check with your province or territory to see what steps to take before trying to access your proof.
Protecting your privacy
The Canadian COVID-19 proof of vaccination shows only a record of your vaccination status. It doesn't expose any of your other health data. The management of your health data is the responsibility of your province, territory or Indigenous organization.
The only medical information contained in this document is related to your COVID-19 vaccination history. It doesn't contain your health card number, so it can't be used:
- to access other health information
- for other health services
If you travel, you may need to present your:
- COVID-19 proof of vaccinationand
- another form of identification (ID), like your passport or status card
Your name and date of birth may be checked against your other ID, such as your passport or status card.
Your proof of vaccination and your passport or status card are separate documents and aren't digitally connected.
Travel outside Canada
Outside of Canada, you may need a proof of vaccination to enter another country, board a plane or train, or participate in some activities. Before you travel to another country, be sure to check their vaccine requirements and restrictions.
However, your proofdoes not guarantee entryto another country. The destination country decides whether or not to accept your proof of vaccination. Other countries set their own requirements for entry at their borders.
If youdonotmeet the country's vaccination requirements, you may:
- be denied entry
- need to quarantine
- need to take COVID-19 tests
- need to meet other requirements when you arrive
The Government of Canada doesn't provide assistance to change travel plans that would be affected by public health measures associated with COVID-19. Such changes would be at your own expense.
