Canadians Can Finally Travel To The UK Without Quarantining From Next Week

Get in quick before those flight prices go up!

Western Canada Editor

Canadians will not be required to quarantine when they visit the U.K. from next week.

Effective Monday, August 30, Canada will be placed on the UK's green travel list, which means travellers do not need to quarantine. They still need to take a COVID-19 test within 72 hours prior to leaving Canada and will be required to book another test within two days after arriving in the U.K.

All travellers must also complete a passenger locator form, which includes the address they will be staying at and details of the COVID-19 tests they have booked.

Previously, Canada was placed on the U.K.'s amber travel list, which meant that everyone arriving must quarantine for 10 days and take a COVID-19 test on days two and eight.

However, if you are planning to travel, Canadian airports are warning people to give themselves extra time at the airport for health screenings and processing requirements.

Before you get going, check out our Responsible Travel Guide so you can be informed, be safe, be smart, and most of all, be respectful on your adventure.
