I'd suggest you call a pharmacy or stop in and ask (hint: smaller ones are usually a bit more helpful).

I think canada doesn't recognize covishield and as far as Canada is concerned, you aren't vaccinated at all.

Good news side of that is that you'd be eligible for all vaccines here.

Thanks for the reply @armoured

Pls check where Covisheild is accepted by Canada and that's why I was able to land 2 weeks ago.

I will check with local pharmacy and see which booster does I can take. Thanks for the help.
