Partial vaccination

You must have received at least 2 doses of Government of Canada-accepted COVID-19 vaccine, at least 1 dose of the Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) vaccine, or a mix of 2 accepted vaccines to qualify as a fully vaccinated traveler and be allowed to enter Canada.

Recovered from COVID-19 with only one dose

If you’ve recovered from COVID-19, you still need a full series of an accepted COVID-19 vaccine or a mix of 2 accepted vaccines.

If you’ve only had one dose of an accepted vaccine other than Janssen (Johnson & Johnson), you don’t qualify for the fully vaccinated traveler exemption.
