Travel & COVID-19: Vaccine Passport
Hello World! It’s already November. The days are getting shorter these days here in Vancouver.
Today we would like to share the information about the Canadian standardized proof of vaccination for travelling.
Standardized Proof of Vaccination Now Available
On October 21, 2021, the Government of Canada announced issuing a standardized proof of vaccination record allowing for travel within Canada and internationally.
As of October 30, 2021, all travellers aged 12 and older taking flights departing from Canadian airports and traveling by VIA Rail and Rocky Mountaineer trains must be fully vaccinated before boarding. (For more details, please check our previous article, from here.) The new standardized proof of vaccination may be used to show that you meet this requirement.
What Information is on the Proof of Vaccination
Your proof of vaccination is a bilingual document that includes:
- “COVID-19 Proof of Vaccination” at the top of the document
- the official logos for
- your province or territory
- the Government of Canada
- your full name and date of birth
- your COVID-19 vaccination history, including:

The Government of Canada is promising this proof of vaccination is going to be accepted at destinations worldwide as a proof of vaccination. However, this proof does not guarantee you entry to another country. Please make sure to check the rules of your destination country before you travel.
