Currently, incoming air travellers must spend three days at a quarantine hotel at their expense, then complete their two weeks of self-isolation at their destination. They have to take a second test on Day 8 after arrival, which will no longer be required of fully vaccinated people.
"We'll be watching carefully here in Canada and around the world as cases change and as vaccination rates rise," Health Minister Patty Hajdu said. "These metrics are very important factors."
The new rules would also apply to certain Indigenous Canadians and foreigners already allowed into the country, the Health Ministry said.
Several Conservative MPs said the Liberal government had failed to end its "unscientific and unsafe" quarantine hotel program, which still remains in effect for many travellers.
