CANADA is the latest country to announce it’s scrapping Covid tests for vaccinated Brits.
Currently, to enter Canada, all vaccinated travellers aged five and over must show proof of a negative PCR test taken in the 72 hours prior to travel, or a negative lateral flow test taken in the 24 hours before travelling.
But from April 1, that rule is being scrapped, so vaccinated Brits can travel to Canada without needing to take a pre-departure test.
Travellers are warned they might be asked to take Covid a test on arrival and, if the result is positive, will have to isolate for 10 days.
All arrivals must still fill in a mandatory online form, called ArriveCAN, detailing your vaccination information as well as a quarantine plan in case you don’t meet the border requirements.
There will be no change to the country’s policy on unvaccinated tourists – they are not allowed to enter.

The announcement comes ahead of the Easter holidays, which will be a boost to any vaccinated Brits planning on visiting Canada during the break.
The news follows the UK’s removal of all Covid travel rules, as the country scraps all Covid-related admin for holidaymakers.
Since 4am on Friday, Brits arriving back in the UK no longer need to fill in a long-winded PLF – regardless of vaccination status.
On top of that, unvaccinated Brits don’t need to take a pre-departure test or a day two test – saving time and money.
There’s more good news for people heading abroad, as a growing number of popular holiday destinations have relaxed Covid rules.
