Government of Canada announces new mandatory requirements for travellers to Canada
From: Public Health Agency of Canada
News release
November 2, 2020 – Ottawa, ON – Public Health Agency of Canada
As part of Canada’s efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19, all travellers are required to provide specific information upon and after entry into Canada. This includes requirements to provide a quarantine plan and contact and travel information. The Government of Canada introduced ArriveCAN in April 2020 to create a secure and user-friendly way to help travellers comply with these border measures. ArriveCAN is available as a mobile app or by signing in online.
Today, the Government of Canada announced new mandatory requirements for travellers to Canada.
Pre-arrival to Canada:
As of November 21, 2020, air travellers whose final destination is Canada will be required to submit their information electronically through ArriveCAN before they board their flight. This includes travel and contact information, quarantine plan (unless exempted under conditions set out in the Mandatory Isolation Order), and COVID-19 symptom self-assessment. Travellers must be ready to show their ArriveCAN receipt when seeking entry into Canada; a border services officer will verify that they have submitted their information digitally. Travellers who do not submit the required information digitally before boarding their flight could be subject to enforcement action, which can range from verbal warnings to $1,000 fine. Exceptions will be made for those unable to submit documents electronically due to personal circumstances, such as disability or inadequate infrastructure.
Starting on November 4, 2020, air travellers can expect to be reminded by their air carrier of the need to submit COVID-related information digitally through ArriveCAN prior to boarding their flight to Canada.
Starting immediately, travellers entering Canada by land or marine modes are strongly encouraged to continue ArriveCAN by downloading the mobile app or signing in online to provide the mandatory information before they arrive to avoid additional delays for public health questioning and to limit points of contact at the border. Travellers can show their ArriveCAN receipt to a border services officer when seeking entry into Canada.
Post-entry to Canada:
As of November 21, 2020, travellers who enter Canada by air, land or marine modes, unless exempted under conditions set out in the Mandatory Isolation Order, will also be required to submit information through ArriveCAN or by calling the 1-833-641-0343 toll-free number during their quarantine or isolation period. Within 48 hours of entering Canada, travellers must confirm they have arrived at their place of quarantine or isolation and those in quarantine must complete a daily COVID-19 symptom self-assessment during their quarantine period.
Travellers who don’t use ArriveCAN to submit their information before entering Canada will be required to call the 1-833-641-0343 toll-free number on a daily basis throughout their quarantine or isolation period to provide their post-border information. They will not be able to revert to using ArriveCAN.
Travellers who do not submit the mandatory information required after they have crossed the border will be considered a high priority for follow-up by law enforcement.
This is a significant step in stopping the spread of COVID-19 as traveller information can be shared quickly and securely with provinces and territories to contact travellers for public health follow-up, and with law enforcement to verify compliance with the Mandatory Isolation Order.
Submitting information digitally in all modes of travel will also help travellers reduce their processing time at the border as well as limit physical contact between travellers and border services officers and Public Health Agency of Canada officers. This protects the health and safety of travellers and officers.
The ArriveCAN app is available for download on Google Play for Android or through the App Store for iOS. Travellers can also submit their information by signing in online.
Quick Facts
- In-transit passengers whose final destination is not Canada do not need to submit their information through ArriveCAN.
- Travellers who may experience difficulty submitting their information through ArriveCAN can access additional information at Canada.ca/ArriveCAN or send an email to: phac.arrivecan.aspc@canada.ca.
- Exceptions will be made for those who are unable to submit documents electronically due to personal circumstances, such as disability or inadequate infrastructure.
- Dedicated lanes for faster processing for ArriveCAN users are available at some major international airports, including: Vancouver International Airport, Calgary International Airport, Toronto Pearson International Airport, and the Montréal Pierre-Elliott Trudeau International Airport.
- ArriveCAN does not use any technology or data, such as GPS, to monitor or track traveller movements. Your privacy is protected.
- The Government of Canada is taking a variety of measures at the border as part of its efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in Canada. Current travel restrictions remain in place. The Government of Canada continues to advise Canadians to avoid non-essential travel outside of Canada. Canada’s official global travel advisory, cruise ship advisory and pandemic COVID-19 travel health notice are still in effect.

A photo for practical purpose
Well, we are not a glamor photo studio, fashion photographer, photojournalist or press photographer. We do not edit, retouch, glamorize or decorate your picture/s. No! That is a no- no in our line of business. Our aim is to capture you as “you!” No more, no less. That is it! We want to show you as you are in your normal facial expression. Please no blinking, no smiling, no frowning, no crying or no other sort of crazy gestures. We don’t want you to wear excessive make ups, have an oily face or wear your fancy huts. No! Also, we don’t want you to wear over size dangling earrings, fancy eyeglasses or designer head wraps. Here they are not permitted.
In our line of business, we are required to take your picture just “plain”. Here, you will not see a nice fake backdrop like the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Gold Gate bridge in San Francisco, a water fall from Niagara Falls or Time Square shoot from New York City. We will not add an illusion to your photos like fake blue sky, digital land escape or you will not hug a Teddy Bear or surrounded by digital zoo animals. In our studio there will be you, light, white background, chair, the camera and the photographer . Even we don’t say “Say cheese” because opening your mouse is not allowed. We will not make a squeaky noise to make you smile or even we will not try to tell you have a bit smile. Read the Rest…

You may face late filing penalties and interest. If you’re owed a refund, there’s no penalty, but you must file within 3 years to claim it.
Q94: Can you file my taxes electronically?
Yes. E-filing is secure and the fastest way to process returns and refunds.
Q95: How long does it take to get my refund?
If you e-file and choose direct deposit, refunds typically take 7–21 days. Paper filing takes longer.
Q96: What if I owe taxes—when is the payment due?
Taxes are due on the filing deadline (April 15). Paying late results in penalties and interest.
Q97: Can you file for an extension?
Yes, file Form 4868 for a 6-month extension to file. It does not extend the time to pay.
Q98: Do I still need to file taxes if I earned very little?
If your income is below the IRS filing threshold, you may not be required to file—but filing could get you a refund or credits.
Q99: Do I need to file taxes if I live abroad?
Yes. U.S. citizens and green card holders must file regardless of where they live. You may qualify for the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion or Foreign Tax Credit.
Q100: How do I check the status of my refund?
Use the IRS “Where’s My Refund?” tool at IRS.gov or call 1-800-829-1954.
