Travellers from across Canada, the United States, and around the world visit British Columbia for unique and diverse experiences. If you’re travelling from abroad, here’s some helpful information to ensure a smooth journey. We recommend that all international travellers stay informed about federal and provincial entry requirements. For the most up-to-date information on travel to Canada, including entry restrictions and guidelines, please visit the Government of Canada’s website.

Canada no longer requires proof of COVID-19 vaccination, pre-entry tests, quarantine, or the use of ArriveCAN for travellers. Stay updated on any changes to border requirements by visiting the Government of Canada website.

When travelling to Canada, ensure you have proper ID for yourself and any children. A passport is the most reliable travel document, and valid visas may be required. For details on USA/Canada border entry requirements, visit the Canadian Border Services Agency website.

For detailed information about the required travel documents for entering Canada, please visit the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) website  directly. Discover Surrey cannot provide specific advice or guidance on individual requirements. The CBSA website will be your best resource for up-to-date travel and identification information.
