First phase of vaccine certification (Proof of vaccination) going live in July for travellers entering Canada.

Potentially very good news in the near future. Seems like fully vaccinated travelers will be exempt from many travel restrictions including the dreaded 3-day mandatory hotel stay. Apart from uploading these certificates to the app, many countries are also working to integrate vaccine certificates with passports.

Well, hopefully they read the article :). I think if it works great for them, they will extend to people that are currently exempt - like us.

Of course. I was extrapolating it. Eventually, I believe Canada will open up for fully vaccinated travelers who are not citizen or PR holders.

Yep. Not that it matters to me - in SA vaccines are like a rumor :D. Definitely not readily available to the general populate, unless you are a health worker, politician with friends high up or geriatric.

yes. probably they will reopen slowly and gradually, So great news. Sadly my country has very very slow vaccination process. Still waiting my turn. Currently they are only giving doses to +40 yo folks.

daim :D I though SA is doing better than Tunisia in terms of vaccination rolling.

Nah, we've got you guys beat on being useless at this vaccine thing :). Our govt is bungling things really badly. And to think the rest of Africa is looking up to us for direction in this regard - so sad :( .

I wish Canada would offer vaccine on entry. I'd gladly pay for it.

Wow, that is surprising to hear. With G7 countries pledging to donate 1 billion vaccines to the world, I hope some of that trickles down to SA soon.

I started a thread on this topic last week. I spoke to a CBSA agent who confirmed international students will be included in the exemption despite the media reporting it only applies to Canadians. This is already posted on canada.ca webpage :

Attention to all travellers to Canada
Exemptions for fully vaccinated travellers who are eligible to enter Canada are expected in early July. Current travel restrictions still apply.

I have heard the same from their live-stream of announcements regarding vaccines and travel. Here is the part where they re-iterate what patty hajdu said
